Automatically select a subset of a model's fields

Hi.

In my web app I am bridging with PHPBB for user authentication, so my
main user database table is PHPBB's user table. I created a Cake model
for it.
The problem is, lots of tables in my app join with the user table,
which has a lot of fields related to PHPBB stuff, but I only really
need the user id, name and email. Cake fetches all the fields
everytime.
Is there a way to specify a subset of fields to select, without having
to add everytime a 'fields' option in the queries? I tried with the
$_schema property but to no avail.
