what do you do for a living? Even though your at work, would you have time to eat a small snack between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner? The reason being that shakes arent the greatest thing in the world but there are ways around that.

pre cooked meals + tupperware = your new best friend

if you want to get ripped why dont you do a cutting cycle?

[kwakisaki]

bring a lot of food with you, precooked. for instance on a normal day i will bring my shake already filled, plus powder for a second one, a tuna salad (tuna, eggs, onion, etc). and another micro meal, such as rice and chicken. i bring an overfilled grocery bag full of food everyday.

I precook all my meals on Sunday and stick a few in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. Plus I'll bring some protein powder in a shaker and some EFA/ nattie PB or some low-gi carbs with me (depending if it's a cut or a bulk).

If they have a microwave at work(which i see you do) , you are golden, otherwise, tuna salad becomes a big friend. Either way, I'm with abmyers on the overfilled grocery bag.

Yup I agree I love the feeling of finally opening that bag during the day... food is the best! haha

if i dont precook and prepack my food the night before, i dont keep the diet. with a little preplanning its not as hard as you think. and the results are worth it.
