Overtime Shift Fueling
Overtime shift fueling adds planned protein snacks and fluids per extra hours—steady energy without a second dinner that wrecks post-shift sleep.
Overtime shift fueling adds a planned protein snack and fluids for each extra two to four hours beyond schedule—not a second dinner at the end of an already long block. Shelf-stable options beat vending when lockers are far from break rooms.
Moderate caffeine; doubling espresso after hour ten often shreds the sleep you need tomorrow. If overtime is weekly, raise daily calories modestly across all blocks instead of one huge feast.
Common questions
-
Should you eat more calories every overtime day?
Add a modest snack per extra block rather than doubling dinner. If overtime is routine, bump daily targets slightly and spread calories across the whole wake window.
