The book says you should not skip meals OR go more than 6 hours without eating. So even if you are not hungry for a meal after 6 hours, you should still eat a small fat/protein snack with part of your carbs (because the carbs have to be spread throughout the day).
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!" (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Chapter 19) |

Your body needs fuel so yes if it has been six hours you should eat something. It doesn't have to be a large meal but eating will keep you from being really hungry later and eating something you shouldn't eat.
