I deleted the titles of my meals and put 4 hour intervals. (12-4, 4-8, 8-12 and so on). That way, whether I'm eating during my night hours or day hours, the logging is simple.

I'm an overnight worker as well. I have my "meals" in my diary programmed as 4 hour intervals. Regardless of whether I have a work day, or non work day, I try to eat at my regularly programmed target. However, having it broken up like that, I am able to space my calories out better on days that I'm awake longer. If you're…

Same here, I work overnight and have to have some oatmeal or toast before bed. It helps get me to sleep better than protein/fat alone.

Like said above, try to find a way to make it part of your routine. I do my log everyday on the train into work. I prepare about 80% of my food ahead of time, so I plug it all into MFP at the beginning of the day and find out how many extra calories I have to play with. (I'm always ready for surprise cake!)

Wine for any occasion is my favorite, but I can drink a whole bottle, so it's not really low calorie at that point haha. I'll usually keep Sam Adams light or Yuengling light in the fridge. I also like vodka sodas. At home, I enjoy Belvedere with flavored sparkling water (my fav is pomegranate lime). If I'm out, blueberry…

Hi everyone! Just started working night shift this week, 7 days on 7 days off. Still trying to figure out how to adjust

My recent discovery is just their coffee (hot or iced) with their heavy cream mixed in. The cream that they use to make whipped cream. Only adds 60 calories or so, and makes it taste like a smoothie. No sugar needed for me

I used to play softball, so give me a bat and I will literally bust some zombie heads!! I'm also a pretty good judge of character (no tolerance for the Governor), and have medical training. The only thing missing is the ability to hunt, which I will learn from someone else. However when that person inevitably perishes, I…

NYC meetup would be awesome. CP is good, or maybe we can do a race of some kind.

When I was starting, I did not eat anything pre-run. Once I got past the 6 mile distance (an hour for me) I would usually have some water, a cup of coffee, and something with a good carb:protein ratio. For example: a piece of toast with peanut butter, greek yogurt with fruit, or a performance shake. You have to listen to…

I love wine. Like, a lot.

Also a waste of time because fads come and go. What's considered attractive today, will change tomorrow. The only way to stay in style is to always just do you, and be confident in what you do.

I think it's a regional thing. I live in NYC where there are only like 4 small Tim Hortons shops, whereas Starbucks is on EVERY CORNER! Plus, I believe people in cities tend to like the decaf extra mocha soy lattes with whipped cream. I'm more of a plain coffee drinker 98% of the time and much prefer Tim's over Starbucks…

Excess sodium can cause issues such as heart and neurological abnormalities as well as water retention (your body will not excrete urine so it can use that water to dilute the excess Na in your vasculature). However, if you keep hydrated, the excess water will properly dilute your excess Na, and both can be excreted by…

May I recommend...

Anecdotal article, but an interesting read none the less. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/twin-doctors-experiment-low-fat-low-sugar-diets-article-1.1597066 My interpretation: calorie deficit and everything in moderation

This is how I picture advice from Dr Oz...
