I find when I used to work the graveyard shift that my desire for large meals went down while my snacking went up. "Grazing" is a word I used to describe it, just mindless munching to help stay awake.
Soon as I realized this, I pre-portioned my meals into smaller doses using sandwich bags, usually finger foods and nothing which required reheating. Think sandwich, fruit, crackers, veggie sticks, the same stuff I would make a full lunch from but broken out into several sandwich bags (half a sandwich per bag, half an apple cut into slices per bag, etc). Then throughout the graveyard shift, about once per hour or so, I would reach into my lunchbox and grab a random bag, that would be my snack to munch on. Next hour, another bag, and so on. By the end of the shift I will have eaten a normal meal's worth of food, just spread out.

Agree, its about planning. I need a snack after a long late shift, so I simply add that allowance into my planner. Calories eaten is calories eaten I think no matter when.
The snacks are hard - we have a lot of people who bring in snacks to share, so there are always biscuits, cakes etc on the table. Thats tough.0
