As a shift worker I have to find ways to such schedule out my days/eves/mids. Luckily my work supplies me with time for my workouts (as we have an hour and a half gym time on shift). Its a good gig like that. So I drafted up a slight diet change for me, and some workout plans.
Note below that I mention Xbox Fitness. Thats because I love and use Xbox Fitness. Its been essential to my weight loss to date!
My dietary changes may not be the healthiest either, but should they be unhealthy, that seems like someone elses problem. But really they are my problem but I am working on it and changing and adjusting daily. These are just base guidelines to my health and fitness routine. And so far they are working out for me.
Goals:
Weight: 200lbs
Waist: 32-34” (high school size)Dietary Changes:
1. High protein (1-2g per pound of bodyweight)
2. Low to moderate carbs (low carbs on non-training days, moderate carbs on training days)
3. High EFA's (essential fatty acids)
4. As little sugar as possible.
5. No carbs after 6 PM! (No Exceptions)
6. No Food past 9 PM! (Exception Mid Shifts)
7. No Food before 7AM! (Exception Mid Shifts)
8. No Juice / Pop / Sparkling Water / Tea
9. Water Only!!!! (Cannot stress this enough)
10. Sunday is CHEAT day, you can have Your Sparkling Water and a Treat (but not pop)
11. Calories per day 1800 (Cheat day: 2000)
12. Track exercises in Runtastic (as per normal)
Portion out Daily Food:
1. Buy containers for food
2. Package ‘daily’ packs of food for when @ work (makes life easier) (meeting daily requirements)
3. Links at bottom of email have good ideas of what to package
4. Ensure daily packages do not exceed daily calorie allowances
5. Eat one pack per day
