Night shift healthy eating

I work overnights also. I usually eat two meals while at work, and I take them in with me. I start with egg whites, chicken, and a banana and then a tuna sandwich and green beans. I usually take a snack or two with me, but usually don't eat them. As for logging, I usually eat my first meal @ 10 pm so I just log it on the next day. Just easier that way for me and it all balances out for the week.

I used to love the night shift for eating healthy. Although I worked alone. Since noting was open, I had no choice but to bring my food and it would be easier for me to stick with healthy choices. I suggest making food a few days in advance and then bringing them in. Making in advance makes it easier, but you could always make it before heading to work. Either way, the key would be to bring your food.

So my advice is pack all of your meals ahead of time - I actually do a bunch of small meals during my night shifts because it helps me from mindlessly eating junk, and don't bring cash with you! If you don't have cash you can't order unhealthy food, you can't use the vending machine, and basically you have to eat the snacks you brought with you. It helps a lot. I make big batches of hummus, boiled eggs, yogurt with fruit and eat them on my night shift (along with other leftovers)

I work 7-7's. I generally eat dinner before work and pack my snacks to eat at work, then have breakfast when I get home. Usually I bring extra snacks, like 500-600 cals worth total, and if i eat more than I had initially planned I'll adjust my breakfast after.
But I feel you on the junk food thing..everyone I work w routinely orders in! I find its easier to pick at snacks then sit for a full meal anyway. So I usually bring apple, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, salad, veg and hummus, maybe granola bar etc to keep full.

I second the idea to not bring money with you to work. I always locked my wallet in the glovebox of my car and brought my lunch in. The parking garage is super far away and in a fairly unsafe neighborhood. There are a lot of places to order from near our hospital, since it's close to a large university, but it was never worth it to go ALL the way to my car at 2 am. If Someone offered to cover my bill, I always declined, saying I was bad at paying people back (I am).
That way, my coworkers didn't think it was weird that I was choosing to eat broccoli and kombucha or whatever other weird stuff was in my lunch bag instead.
