Is Prime right for me???

[CraigMac]

I hope I can get the same results as you did off the AP. Snag has been very helpfull to me as well answering ALL of my questions.
Also thank you for congradulating me on the wedding. My goal is to look close to as good as she will while walking down the beach.
I really do need to get my diet right though. The biggest problem I have is work. I'm a technician at a Chrysler dealer and how I make my money is by getting cars in and out as fast as possible. With all the work I have to complete during the day, taking the time away from it to eat just slows me down. I mostly just try and snack on things throughout the day. In the morning I have a granola bar and maybe some beef jerky with it. Then for lunch I'll quickly whip up some tuna salad and scarf that down then go right back to work. After that I wont eat untill supper time an hour after my workout (around 8:30) Pretty crappy diet but its way better than what I used to do... I used to not eat at all during the day untill I got home. Then I ate like a horse.
I'm gonna try to start making sandwiches or something to take to work for lunch rather than just tuna and beef jerky. I just dont get very hungry at work. Think its probaly all the Recreates im taking.
When the AP comes in i plan on creating a diet makever. Im gonna learn all I can about complex carbs and try to incorporate more of them in my diet rather than just protien.

Something that can help us help you (I work to but do eat three times during my work day but I don't have time restrictions like you) is outline the amount of time you get during the day. That way it is easy to suggest some simple food for you to have that will work with AP and go down relatively quickly with minimal prep/eating time. I am a fan of a protein shake with two scoops of good protein (~46-48 grams) with a half cup of ground oats. If you can do this for your pre-workout meal with your AP it will help out a ton and that takes all of 3-4 minutes to add water to, shake and drink. Also, I like your sandwich idea just make sure you are using a good whole grain/multi grain bread that is high in fiber and low in sugar. If there is a will there is a way my friend.

If yall are willing, some "quick prep" (or even better some no prep) meal suggestions for me to eat at work would be sooo great. Pretty much all I know I should be eating to build muscle is protien. As I learn, Im becoming more aware of how important it is to also eat complex carbs. I'm just unsure when to eat protien and when to eat carbs. I dont know what a pre-workout meal should consist of and even when to eat it. Mostly, I just try and eat my body weight in protien each day.
What I'm really looking for is good food I can store at work in my tool box. If you open my side cabinet on my tool box there is an assortmant of beef jerky, "on the go" tuna meals, and Nature Valley fruit and nut granola bars.
When I get hungry Id like to just open a drawer and put the food in my mouth. A little prep time is okay and I do have quick access to water and a microwave but no fridge yet.

Here is my daily schedule. Any help would be greatly appreciated
7:00AM=arrive at work empty stomache (take 2 Recreates)
9:00ish=granola bar maybe with some beef jerky
10 or 11:00=several beef jerky strips (about 24g protien)
Lunch (around 12:00) on the go tuna (16g protien)
2:30 or 3:30=if im not too busy maybe some more tuna (trying to get some protien for workout) maybe another granola bar too
4:30 or 5:00=take 2 Recreates
5 or 6:00=leave work and hall ass home to exercise
6 or 7:00=work out
7:45 or 8:00=GNC wheybolic 60 immediatly after workout
8:30 or 9:00=dinner
10-11:00=bed time

For dinner we ususally eat the same things every week. Ground turkey tacos with black beans,
Whole weat pasta cassarole dish,
Cheese soup (onion, chick stock, cream, cheese... Oh so good)
Grilled salmon w/ cream sauce, potatoes, and asparagus

This is pretty much it. I sure the hell am getting tired of eating tuna and beef jerky. Like I said before I plan on taking a ham sandwich or something to work but some more ideas of what and when to eat during the day would be ever so helpful. A good preworkout meal and time would be great too.
Keep in mind as I forgot to say earlier, Im waiting for my Anabolic Pump to arrive and any diet suggestions should accompany well with taking AP and Recreate.

Thanks, Craig
