I work from 2 a.m-11 a.m. and it's a hard balance. On my way to work I eat
a protein bar. For "lunch" I eat an apple w/peanut butter.
Snack maybe an orange or one serving of pretzels. Then when I get home I
eat a "meal". I also use MyFitinessPal.com GL

This is not the right answers that I am seeing here to this question... I
too have to work nights... You are simply on a diferent sleep schedual than
other people that is all depending on your activity in your job you need to
eat your meal accordingly. My breakfast starts at 1pm when I get up after
sleeping my 6-8 hours. Then I have my lunch (bigger meal)wityh my family at
around 6pm then they are having their supper.Then I have a snack of 1 oz of
cheeze or protein around the time that I arrive at work. Then decaf coffee
and a allbran bar and a fruit and again a protein. I work a very physical
job and this works for me. And with being a success of having lost 220 lbs
and keeping it off for a year I think that this is a great formula. By the
way I am a female And I have never exercised to this day and have little to
no hanging skin. The key is protein protein protein. Lots of fluid and
VITIMENS D will help you loose.And maintain You do not have to grab for
the carbs because you are bored at work that is going to hurt you progress.
And Stay away from Juice. One oz of juice is the sugar of one fruit. so
typically we tend to want to drink an 8 oz glass. you are getting MORE than
you need!. However if you feel that you need a snack... Have protein and
remember to continue to eat slow. Put down the book turn off the t.v and
radio when you are eating . You need to focas on what you are eatin and
how. IT REALLY WORKS! Hope that this works.

Thank you for your thoughts. I will differently cut out those garbs I have
been eating. I have broken sleep during the day to so, I need to put myself
on a schedule. I have been stuck at this same weight for sometime and I
really want to get to my goal. I want to lose 30our more pounds. I also
struggle really hard with depression and that evil person in my head saying
its ok start tomorrow. What are you suggestion?.

I work the 11-7am shift as well I eat DINNER on my break. I had a very bad
experience because I listened to all my none bypass friends and just had a
snack and coffee at break and all my vitamins and proteins took a nose
dive, putting me in my own hospital and making me orthostatic hypertensive.
I have a lean cuisine or hospital dinner eating protein first. On the night
shift we forget days and nights are backwards we sleep during our regular
meals and can't make them up meds and meals have to be ajusted...Anna

HELLO, gastric bypass or sleeve patients aren't suppose to be drinking and
eating at the same time. You must wait 30 minutes in between!!!! All I know
is that I have to have 90 grams of protein daily so I am never hungry
because I have to eat all this protein. I do not eat meat so it is a chore
finding things to eat.
