For Extra Easy to work, I believe you really do need the 1/3 superfree at every meal. My C tells me that it's not essential and you should try, but not worry if it's not possible, but I would take that to be the exception rather than the rule.

Peas aren't superfree as they have to be synned on Red days, so unfortunately that meal wouldn't count as having 1/3 superfree in it.

Occasionally, if you can't work 1/3 superfree onto your plate you can do it by eating superfree foods before/after, but, as a PP has said it should be the exception rather than the rule, you could swap the peas for mange tout, another free vegetable, or have a fruit salad for dessert. The important thing to remember is to adjust your portion sizes on your main plate to allow for this. You should make them slightly smaller, so that by eating your fruit salad you then become comfortably full.
hope that makes sense, perhaps someone else can put into clearer words what I am trying to say...

My c said it's important to have it with every meal. That's what I do and it's working for me.

However, there are times when this is not always possible but you shouldn't be making a habit out of of not having 1/3 SF.

Hope this helps!

Why though? If you can't fit it in with your meal then you could had fruit salad to follow?

People don't always want to do that and it's ok, although not on a regular basis.
