Go ahead spoil your dinner
¡A arruinarse el apetito se ha dicho!


Explanation:
Esta versión capta el tono informal y de camaradería del original que indica el "go ahead" ("c'mon, live a little kinda thing).

Puede haber otras opciones más próximas en significado, pero con esta se rompe el hielo (es un título, verdad?)

spoil your dinner
mata el gusanillo


Explanation:
Si tienes hambre entre horas, pica algo saludable para evitar que comas demasiado durante la próxima comida.

O sea, si matas el gusanillo ya no estarás muert@ de hambre cuando empiece la cena.
