  • I also work 12 hour shifts/ 6 days a week. noon-midnight. I track all day and then workout after work and log that workout on the day I logged food NOT the day you are going into. It has worked great for me.
  • I am in the same boat. I work 12 hr shifts and I have about 8 net carbs recorded! I am not purposely going so low, but I am deployed and we only have so many options over here.
