I could use some advice on this
I work full time Monday-Friday (8-4pm )but also bartend on the weekends Friday and Saturday (9pm-3am)

My problem is weekends. Friday is almost a 24 hr day for me and saturdays aren't as bad because it's much later start to my day

I'm not sure how many calories I should be consuming, I often get hungry towards the end of my last shift but feel guilty consuming the extra calories.

Opinions?

    Are you wearing an HRM monitor while you are working the bartending shift? If not, how are you estimating how many calories you are burning? Bartending would burn a lot of calories, so if you are not eating enough you could be getting hungry as a result. Don't feel guilty if you eat then, you are probably burning more than you know.

    Try upping your activity level. That will give you extra calories.


    Or just give yourself a few hundred more on Friday and Sat for when you bartend. You can easily write a note in the notes section to say that you added calories and went over because you were working extra.

    I have done that when for whatever reason my work days are either longer or more intense than normal.
