How about making up a very simple veggie soup and popping it in to a thermos .You can make a weeks supply at a time and freeze it in those plastic containers .I worked nights for 22 years and know exactly where your coming from but I used to take in four dutch crispbakes which are only 15grm carb per serving of two and either a pot of soup and a small bag of prawns mixed with a teaspoon of dressing /mayo or a boiled egg .That would give me two meals in the night with no effort.
Don't worry too much about your BP .Mines been through the roof for the last ten years and I mean really high readings of 240/120 throughout the night .My colleagues used to take mine on the rounds .I think it's a hazard of nights combined with a hereditary condition.
Thanks Susie - I do need to make more use of my freezer when I'm off and ensure I give myself a variety of options on my nightshifts; it can get rather tedious if I keep eating the same meals each night. Soup is a great idea. I used to keep a stash of rice cakes and crispbreads in my locker at work, so I really should do that again to try and avoid snacking on naughty things.
240/120!!! Wow! My highest has been 218/190; perhaps some of us thrive on high BP. I actually had a 143/87 earlier tonight, that's the lowest it's been all week.
