Walking and weight loss

Shift work
Hi, I work 12 hour days with an hour commute each way, 3 days a week. That involves waking at 5am, leaving at 5.50am for work for a 7am start. I get home at 8pm. I find kerping a calorie deficit on these days very difficult. I bring my food to work but no matter how I try I go over cos it's such a long day. I'm usually…
