Hey T-bubbas and bubbettes! I got a Q for all of ya. I have been working 11pm to 7am for about 3 months now and will be for some time. I have been trying to nail down my meal timing and makeup (P,F,C content) and can’t seem to make it work. I have my daughter during the day while the wife is at work, so I sleep from 5pm to 10pm and grab a nap from 8:30am to 9:30am after I get home and eat. I train during work at 4am (nice perk of the job). I have tried a few different combos and this is the best one I have come up with. Here is the way I am eating now.
11pm protein shake (40P+30C)
2am P+C meal
4am Train
5am protein shake (40P+30C)
8am P+C meal
11am protein shake (40P no carbs)
3pm P+F meal
It looks good on paper yet I am still pretty tired. Could just be the hours I keep too. I just want to know what everyone else out there would do in this situation. Thanks to all!

PS Yes I am taking melatonin in the afternoon to help me sleep in the evenings. Thanks again ya’ll.
