[QUOTE="unhappy, post: 371120, member: 66127"] Hi again Yorksman, I wish I had your choices. Unfortunately I can't move my job. I work nights in a mental health hospital. This means for half of my week morning is at night !!! And i don't really eat at work (except when I have to do training days and then treat myself to the drinks machine and a meal at the canteen. But these are small portions and no puddings) And these days are not all that often. When I've worked at night I usually have something to eat before going to bed and again before going to work. During the night its usually cups of tea (no sugar) and maybe a couple of digestive biscuits (not with each drink though as 2 biscuits is more than enough !!) On very rare occasions a slice of cake or sometimes a yogurt. But I don't usually eat during the night like some do. When I tell people I couldn't eat a three course meal and it would leave me very uncomfortable and bloated they are surprised but I really couldn't, my appetite isn't that big. Because of my hours and possibly my age when I get home I'm really tired so cooking is a real chore which is why I've tended to make use a lot of ready made microwave meals and also because my cooker is broken and I can't afford another one at the moment. I thought I was eating more or less healthy food until a month ago, now I think I really need help and I don't want to go back to the GP surgery after my bad encounter with the nurse at least not yet until I've got this more under control ???
