Overnight Shifts and Logging Food
Hi everyone! I’m curious to see how other people who do overnights, track food in the app. Mostly as far as timing of meals. I work a per diem job where I do some overnight shifts (4pm-9am) and I log what I eat on those shifts as “overnight foods” in my diary. For example if I work a shift that goes Tuesday into Wednesday…

Will it still count my steps even though it doesn't light…
