4. If the time commitment for cooking..

Seems to be a problem, cooking larger quantities on the weekends and freezing individual meals is a very time effective way to address your problem. I have been doing this for years, and it works very well. The majority of time invested in cooking is always getting organized, so cutting up an extra few vegetables or seasoning a few extra pieces of chicken leads to a relatively small increased time commitment. The bonus to doing this is you can weigh out your portions or ensure that if you are supposed to get five meals from a dish that you evenly split it into five meals.

If you want to maximize your energy throughout the day, adding Vitamin B is a healthy way to do so with the added benefit of boosting your metabolism. Additionally, eating every two to three hours will keep your energy levels up but you have to be careful to reduce the amount of food you consume at these intervals appropriately.
