Really there is no magic cure that is better than cardio and proper eating. To get the most out of your fat loss, get up early and do 40 minutes cardio before you eat anything,(i do 3 times a week) it takes a little time but believe me, it'll work and make sure your diet is good.

bro, you have to figure out a way to eat more often...pack a cooler of protein shakes and chug one when you go take a leak or carry protein bars with you..eating 3 times a day will not help at getting rid of fat..for starters your diet isnt very good, you need lots more protein

^^ agreed. I dont buy the "not time because of work" line. I can eat 8oz of cold chicken breast and a handful of almonds in the amount of time it takes me to take a dump.

Your diet definitely needs work. It's going to be very difficult since you cannot eat during your work day. Your going to have to pack in a few meals once you get off work since you can only have two meals up to that point. You should still be able to get in 5 meals though. Determine your total macros and distribute them among those 5 meals. Thats a start

What type of workouts do you do bro? Cardio, Weight Lifting, Both?
Looking over your diet without macros is hard but its not very good.

I would Lose the WW Bread for breakfast (As it is digested pretty fast) and eat the oats and some type of protien such as egg whites.

For lunch make sure the Turkey Burger is low in fat and I would lose the whole wheat pasta and add Brown rice or a Yam. Get rid of the protein bar and make sure you eat Green Veggies high in fiber (Brocoli is great) to slow digestion which decreases your insulin spike!! Can keep apple if you want but i wouldnt.

Dinner sounds pretty good but i would lean towards fish (Salmon, Canned Herring) since it has ***** 3 Fats which are helpful for various reasons. Eat veggies here also.

Hope this helps bro.

Ok if you can only eat 3 times during the day when you work you will have to make up for it at other times. Eat every 3 hours on your days off and on the days you work eat again at 7pm and again at 9pm or just before bed. This will not only add more protein to your diet, eating more meals speeds up your metabolism which naturally helps you burn fat.

In the following article it explains why eating only 3 times per day does not workEdited. Read the board rules. Do not post links to other sites.. Eat extra when you can and this will help over time.
