I’m new so still trying to get the hang of this. My go to is peeled hard boiled eggs or Bulletproof coffee ( or you can add butter and MCT oil to regular coffee). My appetite is gone for hours! I know there is little time to eat at work so this is quick. I also have fat bombs in my freezer always ready to go!

    Glad to see that there other night workers. I actually work shift work so I'm back and forth between days and nights. The worst part is trying to stay on a schedule, both with my meals and exercise.
    My question to you is, what is a Fat Bomb?

    I learned this watching You Tube and finding out what people are eating. My goal is 5% carbs
    20% protein & 75% fat. I had trace ketones day 4 but no weight loss. Also I hate to cook.
    It is very difficult to actually eat fat & protein for me.

    A fat Bomb is like your dessert. The treat you really miss. There are several recipes out there esp on Reddit. I miss chocolate so I just add my protein powder and MCT powder and it really pushed my ketones up. How are you managing?

    Rotating shifts are waaaay harder vs. consistent night shift (myself). I've pretty much just adapted to subsiding off of caffeine & fluids early in the shift & just prefer eating real food post shift (more satisfying; others will do simple stuff like protein shakes, various convenience foods/bars, fruit, etc.). I'm on my feet 12+ hours/night & I find not eating solids (esp. slow digesting stuff, fat rich) will allow me to keep pace & remain alert
