How do I take these with food? It says an hour before food and 2 hours after

so i could take at 6am and eat at 7am
take at 11am and eat at 12
take at 5 and eat at 6pm
take at 10 and no food?

would that work?
also does this include no tea or coffee with milk in?
when can I take vitamins?

I was on these a couple of weeks ago and didn’t bother about the food, just took them. I only eat an evening meal meal and had to take them 4 times a day. Didn’t seem to cause me any issues.

You don’t need to take them with food, it’s the opposite. They’re best absorbed on an empty stomach so if you have eaten, it’s best to wait 2 hours before you take another one. So the timings you’ve written are absolutely fine. I struggled with snacking because I’m breastfeeding but I just took them when I remembered and they worked fine.
