Pre-prepare food. By your schedule you have lots of gaps where you can take 5min to eat but not 30min and access to a kitchen needed to cook and eat, so the evening before give up some TV / internet time to prepare food for the next day.

I almost always take food to work and often end up eating at my desk. Whilst I was stripping of fat these were mainly salads/fruit/veg and some protein (cold meat usually though sometimes protein shakes) no I am bulking I have whole meals pre cooked. The salads/fruit/veg are easy, it takes a little more dedication to eat a meal at the desk but judging by your profile this is not your aim anyway. Also consider meal replacement shakes / bars if you eat 5-6meals a day you will lose more fat and be heather compared with the same calorific intake on 2 meals a day.

Explanation behind 5-6 meals a day:-
Eating the same amount only more spread out makes your body more willing to transform that intake into healthy tissue, muscle ect. Firstly when you have a large meal you often take in to much energy to use in one go so the excess get put down as fat. Secondly if you eat large amounts then starve for a while your body, been unsure as when the next meal comes in saves as much as possible as fat (fat has takes less energy to maintain). Either way once down your body dose not want to give that fat up as it thinks it might need it later.
