Ok I've been working in my new job for 7 months, and managed to gain almost 1.5 stone.

Anyone got any tip for night workers? And what I should/shouldn't be eating at night x

I've been doing my night job for 6 months. I don't usually eat anything while working. I have cereal when I get home and an evening meal when I wake up.

I've not gained any weight but I've not lost any either

Difficult isn't it. I do a lot of comfort eating on nights. Drink copious amounts of tea. My middle aged spread has errrm......spread!

I've done nights for nearly 10yrs and eat all manner of crap, crisps maltesers Jaffa cakes a dozen coffees, pretty much 100% of the time it's boredom not hunger, still only 11 stone though, so my only advice is eat a proper dinner and don't take anything in with you because if it's there you'll eat it.

I'm attracted to a restaurant, I'm sitting watching the guys eat ice cream and fudge brownie sundaes this very minute lol the temptation is everywhere.

I totally turn myself around. Breakfast when I wake up around 7pm, lunch about 4am, gym at 8 am, dinner around 10am, then go to bed around 11am.

I've lost weight, but then I have been training too.

I think the main tip is to take protein based foods not carb based. Fruit or raw veg instead of sweets or chocolate.

I treat my shifts as 9-5 what ever time it is. That way I keep to the same eating pattern. the worst are nights. finish at 3 but don't go to bed till 6ish.

The only thing that gets messed up is my body clock!
