    I'm a meteorologist in the Air Force and as you know weather never sleeps so my schedule is always changing! The shop is open 24/7. Makes it super tough to eat well, especially with no access to a stove (only have a fridge and micro) and when I have to switch it up and do 12 hour shifts rather then 9. However I'm trying. Make sure I pack healthy snacks like fruits and premade salads and those little starkist tuna lunch kits. I'm trying to watch my sodium intake and having this schedule is making it hard haha! :happy:

    I am a nurse, I bring my lunch because our cafeteria serves unhealthy food (no wonder there is an obesity problem). I literally couldn't find a snack under 250 calories down there:( I take leftovers or have a tuna sandwich. We have a rehab/ gym across the street I work out at. It is low key and mostly a geriatric population so I feel like a bad *kitten* when I move the weights from 10lbs to 35lbs lol!

    I am in education. Some call it a glorified babysitter, but I say I'm a teacher/coach. In a nutshell...this is what I do:

    Not real fond of the cussing, but he certainly gets the point across.

    I am a cook. i start out baking cookies every morning then i make and bake the fresh bread then off to making and baking pizzas, burgers are next and finish up with the hot special of the day which could be something tacoish or mashed taters and gravy. I can tell you how many calories are in what i make and if i choose to eat them that day or not. most days no another gal at work makes me a nice garden salad, no cheese, with some type of meat on it. So i have to plan ahead and try very hard, very hard not to freek out....oh the cookies and pizza.
    oh and water i always have water to shove in my face.

    I'm a full time middle school band director and a full time mom of 3 kids under the age of 11! I pack a lunch every day but it's the dinner time that gets me. If I'm at school for a concert or something I usually end up eating out, but still try to make good choices. If everyone is home in the evening we usually (try) make good meals, but if we are on the run...well that gets to be a problem! It's got to be something quick. I tend to reach for my multigain cheerios if I can't find anything good in a hurry!

    I'm an accountant ~ like many people on here I pack my breakfast and lunch and make dinner at home..... I am up at 3:45 to go to the gym then off to work by 7 and off work by 3:30 and I try to be in bed by 8 p.m. so it leaves me little time so I have to make sure I have everything prepared Sunday night. It works for me and it's worth the payoff I'm getting on this journey!

    I am an assembly line worker in the paint department of a major automotive maker. I am on my feet 8 hrs or more a day walking on grates that kill my legs and feet. I eat my breakfast for lunch cause we eat lunch at 10:30 am which to me is still breakfast. I always pack food that way I don't eat out of the vending machines, our break area is to far away from the cafeterias since we are in a separate building and to far to walk with our 1/2 lunch. Love my job!!
