Big bump to this, when I got out of college for the first 3 years I was working like 70-80 hours a week and I would make all my meals the night before or on the weekend and freeze them then just bring them to work. People thought I was insane because i was eating every 2 hours. But they didn't look as good in a suit as I did.
I've been out of the hellhole known as engineering school for a year and I can't believe my old lifting partner's shape. The dude basically stopped going to the gym and started eating shit again. He's lost literally all the muscle that he put on in school. Granted, I was always the larger guy, but he definitely had more size back then. He blames work for this, but I don't know... he's not working more than maybe 60 hours/week, and while that's a lot, it still leaves quite a bit of wiggle room to go lifting several times a week.
I guess the moral of the story is to never let work destroy your routine. First thing I do when I'm off work is mix my pre-workout shake so while I'm driving home I feel obligated to go.
And, lol, Diesel, I get judged SO MUCH because of this at work. I deal with external customers a lot and have actually gotten some slack from my manager because customers say they're worried that I'm eating all the time instead of working.
