Working nights

ad

So as per the title who works nights and how does this effect your training and diet etc.
Personally I find it harder to eat as much as I would during the day as my appetite just isn't there. My routine goes a lil something like this:
5pm-get up and grab my first meal
8pm- meal 2 plus prepare my meals for the night
10pm- start work
12am- meal 3
2am-meal 4
4am- meal 5
7am- finish work plus meal 6
8am- gym followed by meal 7
10am- bed

How does your routine compare? Any ideas for improvement lets hear it Smile

I works days and night, rotating shift, I only work nights about 12 weeks out of the year. Regardless of what shift I am working I like to hit the gym before work, so I am usually in the gym at 4am. I find after work my energy is way down compared to first thing in the AM. Also at 4am the entire gym is mine which is a nice perk.

I work from 8pm-8am mon/tues/wed. Then on Thursday I work from 8pm to 12am. That's my 40 hour week. If I have an easy night then Ill go to the gym after I get off work in the morning. But if I have a hard night then I go home and go straight to bed. I eat on all my breaks through the night. 10pm. 12am. 2am. 4am. 6am and then off at 8am.
