Q: Due to my job i have to stay awake all night till morning for 3 days each week.I always make my weight training in days i dont work so later at night i can get a rest to repair my muscles.My question is:The hours i stay awake in my job should i have some small meals in order to keep my metabolism high?I do this by the time and for this reason the other meals i get through the rest day are smaller so i can have more of them.I also drink more water.I think its essential cause as i stay awake i burn more calories so i need to feed my body properly with small healthy meals(about 250-300calories big)every 3 hours.Is that ok?Should i try something different?

A: Yes, you definitely have the right approach to it! As long as you're awake, try to eat every 3 hours (or even more often if you can manage). Just make sure that your whole diet makes your weight changes the way you want it to (which may be not at all). In other words, if your goal is to lose weight, say 1 pound per week, and you're not losing it, reduce your meal sizes a little. On your late shift days you might end up eating twice as many meals as during regular days but your calorie requirements may only be 20% higher. So accordingly, all of your meals should be smaller than usual because there're so many of them. Hope that made sense :)
