Shift workers, how do you budget for the day?

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone posting on here, so inspiring!

My question goes out to everyone who works odd shifts, especially nightshifts. How do you budget your calories for the day and any tips on combating fluid retention?

I'm a nurse and work a couple of nights per week (8pm-8.30am). When I start nights I usually don't sleep past 10-11am and being awake for the next 24hrs screws my body up quite a bit. I have major fluid retention and am often hungry throughout the night. I mostly eat small snacks, nuts and such for 12hrs.

What is your go to snack/food and any other tips and tricks you would like to share?

Lots of love, 8 more hrs to go!
