Work and eating right?

[Aleks024]

Hello!

I'm new to the forum and have a few questions about eating right. I'm trying to lose weight and am having a tough time eating my 5 meals a day because of work. My schedule consists of 5 days on and 2 days off, and 5 nights on 3 days off, this throws everything off. I get a pretty good workout at work, on an average I get about 3 miles of walking and some lifting is involved a day.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Aleks

Pre-make your feedings. I work a 12-hour a day, three day a week schedule and when I'm on, I have zero time to cook, so I cook the day before.

Thanks for your suggestion. So eat as I would during a normal day shift? When I work nights it's from 6pm to 6am, that's what throws me off, I have to switch my diet every week.

Would eating through the night affect my results?

No, you need to eat every 2-3 hours, regardless of the time of day.

..every 2-3 hours that you're awake that is.

so when working nights, just eat like you would if it was daytime.
