Are there any other third shift folks out there? I could use some support. I work 11pm to 9am, and my problem is usually that by the time I get off work, most of my calories are already used up. Also, I'm tired all the time.

Add me as a friend!

    I work 9pm to 8am, I have found that resetting at midnight works best for me. Some people like to log from the time they get up, to the time they go to sleep. You may have to try different ways to see what works best for you! =)

    Sending FR!

    I'm a third shifter half the time (like right now) but a first shifter on the weekends. Really kind of F's with my exercise and eating habits sometimes. I can't wait til I can get of my split shift schedule!
