    hey swaby! I work swing shift (8p to 4a) and it's not that different from anyone else when it comes to eating. I just log my pre- and post-shift meals and the snacks I pack to eat at work like any other food. You can set your diary so it names your meals whatever you want, I stuck with "Breakfast" "Lunch" "Dinner" and "Snacks" but if you call your meals something else or just want to log everything in one "meal" that's fine, too.

    I pack trail mix and protein shakes, mostly, but with my job I get a bunch of short breaks. If you actually get one decent meal break you can just eat a regular meal, like a sandwich or whatever.

    My big problem since I switched to nights has been that I want to eat too much on my nights off.
