How to commit to proper diet and exercise as a night shift RN?

So, I work nights. 12 hours. How do people like me stay healthy and in shape? I am always very tired after work. I am always eating anything to stay awake during the night. When I am off, I am mostly asleep. All of my days off is for sleep. When I wake up sometimes, I realize I have to sleep again because I work that night later. I'm still figuring out a diet that works for me. I do want to start working out so i could be in shape. Do you workout after 12hours?

I just want to know how others do it.

    I try to do intermittent fasting on nights I work. Water, tea/coffee, dinner before I come in and breakfast in the morning. Aside from the benefits of intermittent fasting I think not eating at a time my circadian rhythm is expecting me to be asleep might be helpful as well.

    And then a simple strength training routine. I try to get 20 minutes a day in but if I get 3 days a week I'm happy. Pick hobbies that are active that you enjoy- now that it’s winter I want to get out ice skating more but when the weather was warmer one of my favorite hangouts with friends was to meet up and walk and chat.
