Eat your main meal before going to work
This will keep you going for another 12 hours. If you work a night shift, eat your "big meal" between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. before leaving. Then, throughout the night, consume a modest supplemental meal and snacks. Eating a large dinner late at night might sometimes cause gastrointestinal problems.
Avoid sugary, spicy, fried, and fatty foods
All of these foods might make you feel lethargic and cause you to gain weight unnecessarily. Heartburn, indigestion, gas, and constipation get worse overnight when your digestive processes slow down.
Carry your snacks
Snacks will come in handy. Foods heavy in carbs, fat, and sugar are commonly found in cafeterias, vending machines, and 24-hour coffee shops. Protein-rich foods might help you stay alert and focused.
Regulate your caffeine intake and drink lots of water
1-2 cups of coffee can help you stay awake, but try to avoid it later in the shift so you can get some rest. Caffeine overuse has also been connected to depression and has been shown to interfere with serotonin synthesis (the "happiness" neurotransmitter). Drinking plenty of water keeps you awake, prevents dehydration and constipation, and makes you feel fuller.
Make friends with your crockpot and freezer
We don't always feel like cooking, especially when we're tired, stressed, or pressed for time. Set the crockpot before your shift to have a ready-to-eat supper when you get home. Make a habit of batch cooking and freezing leftovers for when you're in a pinch. Future, you will be eternally grateful to the past. It's all about establishing a climate where nutritious food is readily available and easy to select. It's always challenging to make a good choice when you don't have access to healthy food! Even the most motivated people cannot always succeed in such scenarios.
