I answer 10 common questions about losing fat, eating well, training consistently and managing sleep while working early, late, night or rotating shifts.
Working shifts can make losing fat, eating well, training consistently and getting enough sleep far more difficult than it is for someone working a predictable nine-to-five schedule.
In this episode, I answer 10 common questions about fat loss and fitness for shift workers, including whether eating during a night shift causes weight gain, how to structure your meals around early, late and rotating shifts, when you should train, how to manage hunger and what to do when you’re too exhausted to complete your planned workout.
