Alli ought to be taken three times a day, before every meal.  This does not have to be a regulated routine, but you ought to have a pill before you eat anything substantial.  If you skip a meal then you shouldn’t take a pill, likewise if you eat something with no fat within it then Alli should not be taken.  This is because there will then be nothing for it to work on, it will do you no benefit and instead could produce side effects that are either uncomfortable or a health risk.  Taking extra Alli when you eat a meal high in fat should also be avoided, it is not a good idea to exceed more than one pill per meal.  Taking additional Alli hugely increases the risk of treatment effects such as bloating, flatulence and oily spotting.
