As a side note, I'd like to say that I'm very disciplined and can stick to whatever suggestions I'm given.
Can anyone help?

My thoughts:
I was on a hectic schedule out the door by 8:00 am, usually back by 10pm or later. I worked out M/W/F starting between 11pm and midnight.
I did not have time to count cals, nor prepare "special" meals and had no kitchen. So I went with the "eat no shit" diet. No sugar, no cake, no pop, anything, no dressings no sauces (except ketchup - couldn't give it up)
I just cut them one by one (one new cut a week) then I found I was not eating any crap- The biggest problem I had (and still have is) limiting carbs. It is hard to do that without preparing and carrying food to work.
I am also very disciplined.
I weigh myself in morning and in before bed (around 1am) and the I would get a good handle on how my eating was going.
As far as 6 meals per day/ there has been a lot said about it either way and IMO, it makes little or no difference especially for the weekend warrior. I eat about 5 times because I am hungry
Eat a carb after working out, get lots of protein and eat reasonable amounts and everything that is green- and that should do the trick !
If you want get more specific feedback from people, I would suggest posting a meal plan (even a rough one ) and people will be able to give much more specific comments/advice.
Basically, I just said, "I do not have time to calculate and prepare all this stuff" so this is how I handled the "diet"
Hope that long disjointed story helps
