Night eater....

in Getting in Shape

Ok ladies, I am a waitress and work until 10pm, 12am, or 2am.....I go in around 5 so I have to eat dinner early sometimes. What am I supposed to do when I get off work and am hungry? I get free food when I work, and I try to make healthy choices, but sometimes that is hard. Does anyone else work late at night and have any advice? I try to bring a granola bar or fruit to snack on if I can, but that is not always possible since we are usually really busy.....any tips would be helpful!! I feel like it's the change I need to increase my weight loss.

    I remember going out with my friends to Denny's after a night of dancing, when I was really trying to focus on my diet. They'd all order burgers, fries, eggs, etc. Since I was working so hard to lose the weight, I'd order a small side salad with a few croutons and lemon juice for dressing, or even a bowl of fruit with cottage cheese. Try snacking on some fruits or veggies when you get off work, that way you're not too  full when it's time to go to bed.

    I would even recommend a broth-based soup if you really want something a little "more". I also waitress and that's what I tend to do after a late night at work. A good bowl of chicken soup is pretty filling!

    I used to bartend and I would get home and be so hungry at 3 am. I would recommend staying away from anything heavy or that has sugar or carbs late night inluding fruit. Maybe a mozzarella string cheese and some sliced turkey??

    What's your sleep schedule like? I might just shift your meals so that you're eating something lighter than dinner at 5pm, then eating another small meal when you get off of work, with a snack in between.

    If I work till 2am I don't go to bed until 3 or 4. Usually up till at least midnight other nights. Get up around 8am.....If I work at 5pm tho It is hard to eat after that while on the clock.
