    I have this same problem. I alternate days and evenings, and in order to help regulate my eating on off shift, I eat first thing in the morning and then every three hours after that. I carry little snacks (like bags of pretzels or carrot sticks) to eat while at work.

    well I have the same problem, I work 7 am to 7 pm but only on weekends I don't do it everyday THANK GOD!! but I just have to plan everything and it is a pain but I bring my food to work, including dinner because by the time I get home its too late to eat a meal. Sometimes I buy those convenience foods and bring them to work to heat in the micro. It's hard, I know! but I am just starting so it's not like I can say "ya I've been doing this and I've lost 50 lbs!!" but I think if you just plan really well you will do fine. good luck!

    Shifts are a real pain when trying to lose weight ,i work nights so i tend to take a banana in and options drinks that stops me eating rubbish .I would say take a packed lunch in that way you will stay on track .
