my diet IS breakfast?

I meet for work at midnight chow at 11pm, but my body can never eat more than a few bites of food (maybe a little bit of vegatables, a fruit, and possibly a little meat). Then I go eat breakfast at 6a.m. I eat 2 or 3 egg burritos, a hashbrown, some fruit, some milk, some juice, and occasionally a blueberry muffin. Yes, that is quite a bit of food. But by the time I leave it is 1:00 p.m. and I don't want to eat a big lunch before I go to bed just a few hours later. I've heard of people just eating lunch or dinner type meals, anyone know the effects of only eating a big breakfast. I eat a lot of eggs in those burritos. Just curious; I don't know, it may even be more healthy than only eating a big lunch or dinner. Of course I would like to spread it out, but thats impossible. Any body know?

I don't think it will affect you too much because you're not eating that huge meal & going right to bed, you're still up and around for 6 more hours. Just watch the fat content, although I know that's hard with chow hall food.

Sounds like your body is getting adjusted to a different activity scheduling, working when you'd normally sleep, etc. In a couple months you will probably start feeling hungry at 11 p.m. and only so-so hungry at 6 a.m.

Is there any way you can sneak fruit out of the chow hall to snack on at work?

A little snacking here and there may not hurt but if you're happy with what you're doing then more power to ya!

Yea, snacking on fruit or granola while at work would be good. You probably don't have too much time for it though it sounds like. When I used to work all night in Oklahoma City, I would eat packets of regular oatmeal while we unloaded the trucks. I would open just a small hole in the corner, and I rolled it up a little and put it in my back pocket after I poured a little down the hatch.

and yeah, i eat gronola bar occasionally.
I guess really i mean is eggs every day for your main meal healthy? I just have a bad feeling too much eggs can have an adverse effect on a person.

Well, egg farts can have an adverse effect on everyone around you ...


If the eggs are fresh (not powdered eggs) there shouldn't be a problem eating them once a day. Compared to red meat or fried chicken, the cholesterol isn't bad and they're such a complete protein. Or you can have a "meatless/eggless" breakfast 2-3 times a week, eat fruit & oatmeal etc. but skip the eggs.
