Shift Work Nutrition
Shift work nutrition times meals, protein, and caffeine around rotating schedules to limit circadian strain, glucose swings, and vending-machine defaults.
Shift work nutrition aligns meal timing, protein, and caffeine with rotating clocks—eating the main meal before night shifts, keeping nights lighter on grease and sugar, and anchoring wake time on days off when possible. Circadian misalignment raises glucose and appetite; fiber, protein, and planned snacks beat vending-machine defaults.
Common questions
-
Should night-shift workers eat during the shift?
Yes—light protein-forward snacks prevent overeating at shift end. Keep the largest meal before work when possible and limit heavy grease that worsens reflux and glucose.
