May 5, 201412 yr Greek yogurt, Kashi granola bars, fruit, cheese, almonds, green tea. And lots and lots of ice water!
May 5, 201412 yr I love eating yogurt on the night shift. Also I bring tea to sip on during the night.
May 5, 201412 yr Enough water to get me to the finish line, but not a sip more than I need to get there because I want uninterrupted sleep after I cross the finish line.
May 5, 201412 yr Guides You guys are too danged healthy Diet coke, chips (love that salt), fruit snacks that have very little to do with actual fruit, and.... beef jerky.
May 5, 201412 yr Same here. Ice cold water keeps me awake plus a pincher of coffee and fruits, veggies, yogurt, nuts...
May 5, 201412 yr Night shift wreaked havoc on my appetite. There would be nights when my stomach was so upset that I could go the whole night with crackers and tea.There were others when I would eat reasonably, have my "breakfast" and "lunch" with fruit or cheese in between.Others? Madness. I was a human vacuum cleaner. If it was edible and on shared territory, it went into my mouth. Sometimes I would be lucky and there would be a great potluck around. Other times, I was scrounging for crumbs like junkie looking for the next hit. I was a black hole of baked goods, a usurper of salty snacks. There were nights I would awake and say, "I am Khali, destroyer of refrigerators." Yeah, so, clearly I did not adapt well to night shift.
May 5, 201412 yr Almonds (they have honey cinnamon coated at Target that satisfy the sweet tooth), cheese strings, pistachios, pretzels, yogurt, Fig Newtons, grapes, hummus and crackers, iced citrus green tea (Lipton).
