Title: Workijng Nightshift any idea about when to eat and what?
Post by: FreshMintBlue on November 19, 2006, 04:42:14 AM

Hey Guys

I have a new job as a manager in a callcenter and I will mostly need to work the same shift as my team, the next two weeks and maybe even the third I have to work nightshift: 22.00 - 08.00.
I will go train as usuall at 18.30 but with the food I'm very uncertain.

I'm trying to get rid of the fat I have "collected" over the past 5 month, so In fact I do my best to get back into cutting.

Questions:
1) Does it make a difference from a cutting point of view what time a day I eat?
2) I need some pointers from people who work nightshift and have done training and eating before.

Here is my sample diet:

You eat exactly the same as someone who works 9-5, only the hours are proportionately different.

Why would things change?
