    I've been tracking for a week...I end up having 800 calories left over on my first night shift on and either come close to goal or go over calories on back to back shifts....Should I count that as evening things out? Or just keep trying to stay close to goal?

    Rad/CT Tech here work 6p-6a. I track midnight to midnight and keep the traditional naming set up. My midnight "lunch" I usually track under snack or supper. Work schedule allows me long periods of off time (I stack my 12s) so keeping to the traditional naming patterns helps when I switch to the family's sleep cycle.

    I work 11-7 and for years I ate at night. What I found works for me now is; 7am breakfast, sleep. Wake up1pm lunch, sleep at 6pm wake up10 pm dinner.
