RN as well..nights (1-3/week, mostly wknds).
I just keep MN-MN eating schedule, even on non-work days.
I use MFP & I set the meals up in times rather than B, L, D, snax.
I use MN-7a, 7a-noon, noon-3p, 3p-7p, & 7p-MN. When I'm hungry, i eat. I dont breakdown 400 cals/meal & 200 for snacks like some people do. That plan never worked for me. I do conserve cals toward the end of the day. I never know how ravenous I'll be later & once my cals are up, i can't eat again until MN!
Also, that whole "don't eat after 6pm thing" was a bad choice for me as well, especially when i've got 14-16 more hours to be up!
