The most important tip I can give anyone is to plan and prepare your meals ahead of time.
Stock up on small (portion-size) Tupperware containers and a big cooler or lunch bag.
Make your whole week of meals every Sunday night, or make your meals the night before.
It should only take a few minutes in the morning to pack your meals for the day and head out! My fridge is always stocked full of Tupperware containers with small amounts of food in them. I try to keep each meal between 250-320 calories and eat every 2-3 hours. If I'm not seeing results that I want, I go a little lower carb, higher protein.
