How Should I Eat, While Working Night Shifts

Should I Eat at Night While I'm working?

Yes!!! Never deprive yourself of nutrition even if you work graveyard shifts. You will  have to reverse your eating schedule.

How do you go about doing that is simple. Many people will tell you not to do it or you will get use to it, but you have control of your mind and body. Sometimes you have to trick your mind to improve your body.

Many night shifts are permanent, many are PRN what ever the case you have to start making healthier choices.

Even if you do it temporary you will see the results, you are  eating the most when you are most active. So if you work at night wether you are constantly moving or not your metabolism is still working.

So my recommendation is that you,
*Eat dinner around 7-8pm
*Eat a snack by 12midnight *Eat breakfast around 4-5am.

Then when you go to bed when u get home around 7am or 8am. You should stay hydrated. Make sure you drink enough water when you are up working.

* Eat a snack when you get up, or eat a small meal/lunch around 4pm.

EXAMPLES:

8pm- Tiplopia, Spring beans, bake potatoes. Glass of water.

11pm-12am- 32oz Smoothie or Turkey sandwich, peanut butter sandwich. Glass of milk or water.

4am- Scrabble or boiled eggs whites, toast, oatmeal or grits. Apple or orange. Orange juice, glass of water.

3pm-4pm Fruit Salad or Smoothie. Asparagus and baked chicken.

No matter what always have a positive attitude. Workout on you break at night by walking around your unit several times. Then again if time permits, once before your shift starts, by incorporating some cardio or such. Just stay healthy, active, happy, and awake while working your night shift.
