My typical day involves leaving my house at 4 a.m.; eating a pre-workout meal in the car; working out at 6 a.m., then eating all my meals and protein shakes at work and away from home (not to mention NO access to a refrigerator at my workplace); and finally pulling into my driveway around 9 or 10 at night. I can only pack so much non-refrigerated food (basically protein shake mix, canned tuna, fruit, and PBJ on 100% whole wheat bread). I just need healthier convenience food.

I know I don't, because I'm lucky and have a decent amount of time, but what about people who are working two or more jobs, and have to travel a long way to and from work, and maybe have kids to take care of too? As much as they'd like to worry about the long term consequences, sometimes the short term is more important. If I got back from work and only had, like, 5 or 6 hrs until I had to go to a second job, and still needed to eat dinner, I'd use whatever I could to get done quicker, because that would mean more time to SLEEP. In the article you linked, I have to wonder if they took into account cleanup time. I know that when I make stuff from scratch I tend to use a lot more bowls and plates and utensils, and that translates into a lot more I have to wash after I've eaten. I can see that adding even more to the time saved. I love bagels and cream cheese, but whenever I look at those Bagelfuls I just…*shudder*
