Medical Student needs help...please read

[el_cubano]

I am looking to get down to about 15% BF from 20% as I am now. I am 5'9" and weigh about 190lbs and now my jeans are 34". Not acceptable for me, even in the winter. I am by no means a body builder, but I def wanted to stay 32/33" jeans all year round (32" or less near the summer time). Here's where I need some advice. I know tons about how to eat for the average weight lifter/healthy person, however it is very difficult for me to have any shakes during my day as I am in my general surgery rotation for medical school (veryyyy busy). ANy suggestions, I am all about busting my butt with the food intake portion because the most I can weight train is 3x/week at this point...cardio on average I do 3-4x/wk as well, if im lucky.

here goes...

meal #1
1/2 egg beaters
1/2 thomas light whole grain eng muffin (high fiber)
2 Kashi go lean high fiber wheat waffles w/ TBSP of non sugar syrup
1 TBSP low carb PB

meal #2 south beach diet bar (low glycemic 220k/cal)

Meal #3
2 slices of soned ground WW bread
1/4lb of turkey or non fat thumanns ham
1 TBSP helmans light mayo
1/2 oz of low salt cheese
small non sugar 60k/cal light fit yogurt


heres where I'm stuck, its difficult for me to adhere to a healthy dinner and post workout shake because of the time i get done (usually 6pm) thats if I even get to workout. I have Isopure no carb shakes to eat b4 bed with some EFAs......any suggestions, corrections, HELP.

Remember I am no bodybuilder just a 27 y/o busy MFer who wants to look a little better naked

If you want something easy then I would suggest microwaving chicken +green beans. Add hotsauce to chicken + fake butter spray to green beans. Its pretty quick if you get the pre cooked bag or bake a bunch of boneless/skinless at once and store in fridge.

Almonds and AllNat Peanutbutter are easy too.

Feel your pain with time constraints and all, currently in school also and hate the fact that sometimes I am forced to eat certain items that I would not normally. One thing that has worked for me was to carry healthy snacks in a plastic bags and snack on them when other students would usually head for the vending machines.

Not sure if that helps, just what has worked for me.
Some items I have taken- Boiled eggs, Nuts, Jerky, carrots/celery and some fruits
