How to track meals when working night shift

Four nights a week I work overnight shift at a local grocery store as a cashier. On those days I am basically eating four meals--a light breakfast, lunch/brunch time, dinner with my husband and one meal during my lunch time at work. But how do I classify that "lunch"? Do I call it a snack or combine it with my regular dinner? It is usually just a sandwich or small leftover portions from dinner with husband and usually takes place between 3 and 4 in the morning.

It makes no difference.... Meal timing isn't relevant! As long as your calories work out at the end of the week, it doesn't even matter where you log it.0

Basically it's total calorie input that matters the most, not when or how you eat it. You can set up your meals on mfp to reflect that you eat on 4 different occasions if you think that'd help you track better.0
