Your at a maintenance level (barely) and without upping that you're going to stay where you are. No offence but I don't see where time is a factor. Nothing keeps you from taking a shaker or two with protein powder and add water from the water cooler. That takes every bit of 30 seconds. :)If you have a fridge at work you can take shakes pre-prepared and sip on them during the day. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

Have some cottage cheese before bed would be a start. It's not as hard as you think. Browse the specific diet and nutrition forum and learn good eating habits. Read and start eating from the "grocery list for healthy eating" in that same forum. Good luck and welcome to T!!! -------------- Hungry and mean!
