Say if I stay awake more than usual two nights a week.. (my schedule is weird..) I work Sunday and Tuesday morning, then Wed thurs I work until 4 AM but am still awake by 10...
Do I give myself more calories for this? I get really hungry at night at work, but I'm not sure if I am supposed to give myself more to eat, or keep my normal amount.

    If you get hungry, then its not good to avoid your tummy because then your body might react and think your going into starvation mode, you want to keep some snacks for you, like almonds, yogurt, apples, dry cereals- 1/2 cup or 1 cup.. Something thats not too heavy... Hope this helps.. good luck in ur journey :)
