Question

Hi everyone!  Newbie here!Hi everyone! Newbie here!  just curious as to how many night shift workers there are here. Do you find it hard to manage your night meals as opposed to "normal" meal hours? I've worked nights for a couple years now and that's where I find my biggest struggles, just figuring out when and how much I should eat. I could snack all night long and that's not good.  

Answer 1

I’m not a shift worker; however, have you tried reverse tracking - I believe you start with the meal you’ll eat 1st and go from there.  

Answer 2

Night shift. I track midnight to midnight, if I'm off the next day I try to keep the points really low. I usually take a healthy choice steamers thing 1 to 3 points depending on flavor, usually a fruit this week grapes and a snack light lowfat yogurt 3pts or a fiber one bar 2pts. When I started out and I was hungrier I would take more fruits or 0 pt foods for snacks. So when I'm working my breakfast is usually 3am lunch 9am dinner 4pm then I bring snacks that fit my left over points to eat from the 7p to 1159p portion of my shift ex yogurt or fiber one. The foods that I eat at work I avoid like crazy at home so I dont feel overdosed on them.  

Answer 3
