Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

[kcmagu 3]

Has anyone on here worked nightshift? I was reading the number of meals discussion and wondering what I will do when I go back to work. Of course, I'm still on full liquids next week, so meal times aren't an issue then.

Anne - I work the night shift and the first night back for the week is hard. Where as i might normally try and get something (even just a piece of cheese) in me in the morning for Protein intake even if I'm not hungry - these days I will allow my first meal to be when I get hungry around lunch time. There is usually still a 4th or fifth meal (5th being a snack) for me that day/night period (depends on whether I'm going to be up 23 or 28 hours for meetings and such) I will try to focus on more protein those days and instead of trying to keep my calories </= 1000 / day I will go up to </= 1200. This is the only way i can keep from crashing and becoming nonproductive. I will also try to walk for my lunch hour (somewhere between oooo and o2oo) for a boost of energy and to help with the increased calories.

but the first day off after working a stretch of nights - I also only sleep for part of the day and will only eat 2-3 meals a day - no snacking and intake amounts are smaller.

By the way tonight will be one of those hard nights :wink_smile: - GOOD LUCK !

1/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich

1/2 egg and cheese scramble

2 oz beef sausage cheese appetizer thingy, garlic cracker with garlic dip, coconut pecan cookie---went to bunco last night-- they are all about food!! Glad it is only once a month!

B- the inner portion of a Trader Joe's crustless quiche (not good for band, it was sooo chewy on the outside, so a waste of money)

L- 12 almonds, 1/2 apple no skin

S- 5 pita chips

D- 1/4 cup of chicken salad, 1/4 cup of egg salad (grocery store deli)

I then worked out for 45 minutes

Late night dinner- the toppings off of an individual pizza, a few sips of wine

This was yesterday- it was sort of a weird day. I was on a field trip w/ my class all day and then went out at night- I was gone all day and didn't plan my food very well, in fact, the only thing I brought to work was the Breakfast, and then realized that I couldn't eat the lunch I had left in the fridge the day before (frozen) because we wouldn't be near a microwave. I grabbed foods I had available, so that was the almonds, the apple and the pita chips. When I got off work I was kind of hungry, but I didn't want to work out and get sick (which has happened when I didn't eat enough that day) so I went to the deli and got the egg and chicken salad. I could have probably just had one or the other. I worked out and met friends. We went to one of those movie theaters that serve food, but they had a very limited menu, so it was pizza or sandwiches. I picked the pizza because it was less expensive than the sandwiches and I can't eat bread at all. I also got the pizza w/ very light cheese.< /p>
