Miranda Belcher Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Is anyone else having a hard time maintaining a healthy diet but only on the nights that you're working? I find working the night shift leads to a lot of unhealthy and purely convenient snacks/meals. What are your thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Jenna Nurse Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I would think alot of good proteins to munch on the go would be good healthy snacks for nurses. Like creamy peanut butter and celery sticks, yummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Laila Ighani Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Go prepared! Like Jenna said, take some healthy and filling snacks with you. Otherwise, you'll end up getting snacks from the vending machine, and that's just about the worst thing you can do! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Karin Zonneveld Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Working late can lead to overeating since it's our body's natural response to just go to sleep! But the night shift is so common among nurses. Those tips are great! Here are a few more: - Taking healthy snacks to work - Having a healthy and balanced diet during the day, with a lot of protein - Drinking plenty of liquids - Getting enough rest during the day, as not resting enough can also trigger our response to eating more sugar - Getting enough movement (yoga, pilates) can help us overcome anxiety as workouts give our body a boost of dopamine - Staying positive (You can make this!) I hope they help, even if it's a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
