put it this way---if u had to b at work at 9am would u get up at 9am? no--u would get up say around 8am---time to take a shower and the alotted time to drive to work and b there at 9am--

its the same way with these diets---u cant wait till ur starvin to figure it out---gotta b prepared

Preperation is key. I have alerts set to go off on my outlook account (that stays open 24x7 while I'm at work) that tell me when it's time to prepare food, what to prepare, and when to eat it. Below are a few pictures of what my work station looks like. (What you don't see are the 40 million frickin bottles of water on the top shelf) I work and go to dental school both full-time. My nutrition plan (NOT DIET) is based on foods that take little to no preperation. Take a list of your macros, and take a nice long walk through every isle at your local Save-A-Mart and read the labels. Once you have a plan, everything else is easy and falls into place...

That's a very good analogy. I struggle not only with meal planning, but also planning meals that I don't burn out on week after week. I think what I'd benefit from is a grouping of items that are part of the plan, and then treat it like a menu each week while planning. Anyone take that kind of approach? Anyone know of a good source for some kind of list like that? Creativity is not my strong suite -- methodical routine is.
