Really good to meet you Chris. I loved what you said about connecting - I think you are so right

: My MAIN question has been: I work
: overnights 4 nights a week,
: sometimes 5 nights. Hours are 9:30
: PM - 7:30 AM. and sleep during the
: day.

I used to work nights years ago and it was not easy. I often think how I'd approach it now! I remember having 'dinner' for breakfast before my shift and I know that'd work well for me now, must have been a good instinct for me then - but instead of trying to get through the night with a snack at midnight I know I'd eat well then, and a snack too !

Good place to start will be discussing breakfast. You mentioned shake? is that good and lasting for you?
