I've recently gone from being a lazy student to working two jobs, and I'm really struggling with fitting in food and eating the best things at the times that I have available. Any tips on what to eat, what to take to work as snacks and what to avoid would be really appreciated
And when to fit in a work out too!
My average schedule is starting work at 11am, and finishing around 10.30pm, with a break between jobs at 5.30pm.
I don't really get a proper lunch break so I usually end up going for unhealthy, very quick snacks between jobs and then getting home ravenous!
Thanks in advance MFPs!

Workout before work. Get up an hr before you usually do and get your workout in then.
Do you have a fridge or anything at work?0 -
Start prepping your meals for the day the night before. Or if you have a day off, prep meals for several days ahead of time.0

I plan my whole day of food the night before work. It really, really helps!
I usually eat every 2 hours at work, i bring something for breakfast like oatmeal i can cook in the microwave or eggs around 8, then about 10 i snack on carrots and then something like a salad for lunch or cottage cheese and crackers (and i usually walk at my lunch time too) and a piece of fruit around 2 or 3.
There are vending machines stocked with very unhealthy food or someone is bringing in doughnuts all the time so i find if i have something that i brought i am not as tempted to eat the unhealthy food.
plus if i plan the night before i know how much i need to work off in exercise.0
