Hi! I'm starting week 2 today and I'm back to work tonight and im wondering how people who work nights manage their food/calories? Do you reset calorie intake at midnight? Any tips/advice would be gratefully received.

Never thought about it until you posed the question.

My first thought was that I'd reset at midnight but then I probably thought that because that's what I do in my 'normal' life.

Realistically though, I guess it's down to what suits you and how best you are able to fit the daily calorie allowance into your schedule... which I suspect only you can really work out.

Not what you're looking for?
