Do you guys work 8-5? How do you eat and train efficiently?

[wrknonit]

Get a small cooler to put right by your desk, or for those of us that work outside, the truck. Carry more food than you can eat. Also make sure you have a can opener, fork, spoon, etc. It takes no time to get used to it. I'm fucking jealous of everyone that has nothing better to do than eat, train, chase ass, and go to class occasionally!

Planning is the key, I prepare and freeze all my chicken and pasta on a sunday. Luckily we have a small fridge, microwave and george foreman griller at work

determination and a minifridge.

I just bought one of those. Everybody was tired of my shitload of food hogging the fridge.

wake at 5 am ---> cardio and abs ---> work 8 to 5 ---> train +/- more cardio ---> shower and sleep.

As far as meals, lots of tuna out of the can, cooked chicken breast in plastic bags to munch on, occassional protein shakes, and tons of water. It's hard and requires dedication, but then again so does everything else in life that's worthwhile.

I work 8-4:30. I get up at 5am and do cardio and then do weights at night. Breaking it up is easier for me.

Cardio at 5am=puke for me.

I work from 0830 to 1700 or later. I cook all of my food on sun and freeze it. I pack a cooler every morning at 0500, I get to the gym at 0630 and work out to around 0800 and go to work. I eat every two hours at work. Gotta make it happen bro.

+1,, I work shift, 4 weeks days, 4 weeks afternoons and 4 weeks midnights,, Sundays are cook a shitload of food day.. I also freezer pack and eat every 2 1/2 hrs.. The wife is a figure competitor so that makes it a little easier,, we eat the same kind of food.. but, its still alot of planning and schedualing,,but worth it in the long run,,

Yeah it sucks but you get used to it after a week or so. I like to get up and down 5-10 BCAA pills with 16-20 ounces of water. I also like to rub on some YES as well. Trust me the hardest part is getting out of bed.

i usually work an 8 hour day,sometiems 12's on weekends depends on where I am in the rotation,add a 1.5hr drive each way onto that and I still get to the gym 5times a week. ill eat a protein bar on the way into work and going home, and I usually work 4-12am during the week so I hit the gym when I get off work,come home eat,shower goto bed,wake up at noon and do it all over again on 6-8hrs sleep. you just have to want it,there can be no excuses and you cant let anything get in the way. sure i might miss a meal if things get a little out of control at work (i work at a group home) but then I just eat when I can.
