Any shift workers here?

Just need a few tips on how to fill out the food diary.

Do you use the one day to fill out the diary? Or do you switch to the next day once midnight hits, and eat less the next day?

Which one is the better option?

Note: my night shifts are from 6pm to 7am. Got one tonight!

Thanks :-)

My fiancé works nights and I tend to stay up with him. I count my days as the period between when I wake up and when I go to sleep. Just because the clock strikes midnight doesn't mean it' a new day for me, I haven't slept yet so I keep counting them in the same place as before the clock struck.

Hey there!

I do those weird shifts sometimes and I find it better to go by the clock. Especially if your schedule is not always the same, it could get confusing to do it the other way. Dinner is dinner wether you eat it at 6pm or 6am . I say use the clock.

Cheers
