my sugestion would be when you get off work eat a small snack(fruit and a small protein), since your going to bed within a few hours, when you wake up your first meal should just be dinner, then have another small snack right before work, lunch while you're at work and then breakfast while you're at work. the goal since you're on midnights is to keep your energy up. you're snacks don't need to be large...say a handfull of nuts and a fruit or veggie. When my friends ask how I lose weight protien, fruits, veggies, whole grains and water are your friends. Everytime you eat have a protein with a carb, remember fruits are carbs. Veggies have fiber so have atleast 2 searvings at lunch and dinner. Start your meals with 8 oz of water and try for whole grain when you have breads and pasta. example day.....8am: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fruit....5:30p salad w/ 2 tb dressings, 3oz bbq chix breast, 1/2 cup pasta with a small amt of real butter, 1 1/2 c broccolli, 7:30pm 20 almonds, apple.....11:30...pb&j on whole grain bread with carrots and sweet pepper strips,...4amish...oatmeal and orange (this seems like alot but estimate is 1400 calories).....................these are only sugestions, from what has worked for me. Keep your foods simple and easy. I hope this helps.
