I am on Atkins. But I have don CAD. I decided to go with atkins becuase you can eat when you are hungry and not just the three meals a day. Ocasionally I will plan to have a meal off plan and then I do stick to the one hour time limit from the CAD. It seems to help. Anyhow, to the main question. I have a tendancy to eat sausages and hard boiled eggs every day. I have noticed for me that having the food done ahead seems to help. I Get some of those glad bowls and make everything up on Sunday and put it in these bowls in the fridge or freezer and that way I can just microwave it for a few minutes and breakfast is all ready. I have done this with omlets, bacon and all kinds of foods. I also cook serveral chicken breasts up ahead of time and keep them in a ziplock in the fridge. Pre-planning seems to be the key for me. If I don't I seem to eat what ever is handy, and it is not always what is best for me...
