Yup, that's basically what I was shooting for. More often than not I'm rushed in the morning and I wanted something quick and easy. Adding protein seemed like a good bonus for those days I don't have time to make something. I picked up a small container of Muscle Milk last night before I even got saw your message, and it looks like it fits the bill.

I welcome advice from anybody... if there are parts I don't agree with or dont fit my lifestyle I may not follow through, but it never hurts to learn . I'm also realistic and know I can't easily change everything at once.

As far as drinking, water is my friend. I've got a 2.3L bottle at work that I usually finish by mid afternoon, and then have to fill up a 32oz bottle at home a couple of times at night. I used to drink 5+ sodas a day, a year or so back cut down to about 3x a day and diet sodas, but now have pretty much just eleminated them altogether as a daily habit.

I'm starting to use an application I found last time I lost weight that keeps track of what I eat, and lets me track all sorts of useful information about the food (calories, fiber, protein, fat, sodium, etc). Last time it really helped to make sure I was eating enough of the right things.
