Hi,
We refrain from eating meat during the "Nine Days" period of mourning. Those who normally eat meat for their Melaveh Malkah meal in honor of Shabbat should not do so during the Nine Days, and no hatarat nedarim is required.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:21:4)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Seudah Shlishit vs. Melaveh Malkah
Hi,
The practice of eating a special meal after Havdalah is a good practice, but it is not obligatory. On the other hand, the practice of eating three meals during Shabbat is actually linked to biblical verses.
Therefore, a person who must choose between the two practices (such as one who would become so full from Seudah Shlishit that he could not eat Melaveh Malkah) should opt to have three meals during Shabbat and skip the meal after Shabbat.
(Mishneh Berurah 300:2)

What constitutes Melaveh Malkah?
Hi,
It is ideal for one to base his post-Shabbat "Melaveh Malkah" meal on bread and meat. When that is not an option, such as when one is too full from Shabbat, then one should eat other grain-based products (cake, cookies), or at least fruit.
The key is that just as we honor Shabbat at its entrance, so we honor Shabbat at its exit. (For that same reason, one should eat this meal as soon after Shabbat as possible.)
(Mishneh Berurah 300:1-2)

Melaveh Malkah
Hi,
One should arrange his table nicely and eat a meal after Shabbat is over, to escort out the Shabbat. This meal is commonly called "Melaveh Malka מלוה מלכא" or "Melaveh Malkah מלוה מלכה."
[The difference between the two names is that the former ends in an Alef, indicating escorting a king, while the latter ends in a Hei, indicating escorting a queen.]
(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 300:1)
