Hello any lunch suggestion for a late shift worker (1:30pm-10:00pm) I work outside so I have to eat cold foods like Tuna please Help

awe sugar I can so sympathize with you. I just changed schedules myself. I worked a night shift driving the city bus. So in addition to not being able to heat anything up, I didn't get a chance to eat a regular meal either. I did a lot of tuna and cold salad type things. And I had to learn to eat luke warm meals from a thermos.. I wish you luck, I had to change my schedule to be able to try to get the right nutrition in. If you figure anything out let me know, cause there is no guarantee that I will be able to keep this schedule past 6 months so I will be right back in the same boat. Good luck. Try doing your bigger meal in the beginning of your shift when you can get it kind of hot from a thermos, and then do protein meals the rest of the night. stop eating when you reach a "sevenish" time on your schedule. Those late night meals will kill you! Figure out what time your bedtime is after your shift and treat that like your time point.. If you got off like a normal person and went to bed at 10 then you would stop eating at 7... if you get off at 10 and go to bed at say 12 or 1.. then you shouldn't eat past 9:30 or 10. Again.. good luck!

I make chicken salad with pineapple, or lettuce wraps with healthy choice sliced buffalo chicken, sliced cheese, guacamole, cucumber, tomato, wrap it in parchment paper and then clear wrap. It's yummy!
