Working grave yards

I work grave yards and I can't get my eating wright can anyone that can help me or give me any ideas how I can do this so I don't over eat or get to many calories in 

When I have to work odd shifts I set my phone timer to alert me after every 2 - 4 hours to eat. And I would pack a snack/meal for each alert and only eat that. It is hard but can work.

Good Luck

Thank you

I have worked 12 hour nights for many years.  I eat protein only on my night on.  This way I am not craving junk which is always everywhere at the hospital -- nurses tend to be always given gifts of food. 

I take lots of 4 oz portions of protein to work.  Tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, turkey salad.  (get the idea?)

I also make taco meat and eat it in a bowl with sour cream and cheese on top.  The protein truly helps me stay satiated and I actually lose weight on my work nights.  You can take fruit to eat if you get hungry - but for me, fruit makes me crave more carbs, so I just stay away from all carbs - good and bad.

Lastly, my surgeon taught me when I was banded to only eat when I'm hungry.  I know when I need a fill because if I eat a solid protein meal and I get hungry before the 4 hour mark, it's time for a fill. 

Thank that help me a lot
