    I do Zumba when I first wake up, which is anywhere from 2-4pm.

    Then I eat breakfast, come to work.

    When I leave, I go straight to the gym.

    I tend to snack a TON at work LOL....It's all veggies and fruit and crap, like right now...sliced cucumber.

    But I've got a bag of popcorn on standby and my actual "meal" still in the freezer....don't think I'll get to it though because I had a salad earlier.

    I'm notorious for snacking at work. Lol. Of course, all of my snacks add up to the same amount of calories as a single meal, but some people just don't understand that it takes a lot of hummus to equal the same calories as their calzone. :) Here is to all night snacking!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

    Thats a good idea, I just get too stuck on what food I've eaten for what day and what meal I'm eating. LOL

    Hey fellow night shifters,

    just for curiosity when do you work out? Before or after your shift? I usually work 6 pm to 6 am and I get up around 3.30 pm to work out before my shift starts, when do you fit it in and why?

    I do zumba at home before work, then go to the gym after.
    Basically because I don't have a whole lot of time otherwise.
    I used to hit the gym before my shift,
    but then I'd fall asleep at work.

    9pm-6am, but I work from home, makes it harder NOT to snack, but so far so good. I usually workout when I get up in the afternoons. I find if I work out in the mornings when I get off I can't sleep, body still buzzing from the workout..

    I work out when I wake up... thats when I have the most energy.
    I eat my biggest meal in the AM or PM when I work nights then follow it with the gym. I find it works the best for me. I am sluggish if I go after work ...
