Most deem it impossible not<\/em> to gain weight on night shift let alone lose it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This article is all about providing you with 16 healthy food choices which keep you full, prevent overeating and excessive snacking overnight to ultimately improve the state of your waistline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as a heads up, most of these foods will not be found in a vending machine or from the take-out store. They require a little preparation, but not too much<\/em> and likely need to be bought from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As shift workers, we need to carry our meals and snacks in containers. We love glass ones as they don’t smell, warp, and can be heated repetitively. These are the best ones<\/a> we have ever used and you can find them on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Almonds may seem bland at 3am, but they are packed with fiber to keep your gut happy.

But if you’re looking for something a little tastier try this no-bake Coconut Fruit & Nut Bar recipe.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Portion control is key here. Don’t bring in the whole bag from the grocery and instead bring in a small container so you don’t overeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How much is an average serving size?<\/em> 23 almonds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n1.
