would this be ok??

my trouble with eating etc is not helped by my job I work constant nights so just thinking about how to plan my meals and was wondering if this sounds like a good plan I work 10pm til 8 am I have a very physical job lots of walking and heavy lifting I plan on having a maintenance bar when I finish in the morning as I still have a horse to see to after work a light tea in the evening ie chicken and steamed veg and then taking a tuna salad towork with me to have at 230am would this be ok calorie wise? I will also start to introduce potato and pasta next week.

it sounds ok to me but everyone is different, refeed and maintenance is kind of like a week by week experiment of seeing how many calories you you can and cant eat and how your body copes with it all.

remember the first day of refeed is one meal only and 6oz meat/fish, two tablespoons veg/small cereal bowl of salad for the first 7 days of eating, it is important to follow this in the first week strictly to prevent a big gain.

you can have low fat/fat free yoghurt from day 4 and fruit if you wish

good luck

woohoo how much did I enjoy veg for the first time in my life and that is no joke and I know I shouldn't but I jumped on the scales this morning to see if I had put anything on from eating and I have lost 2lb!!!

Hi eyesdontlie, have fun and as Nicki said, follow the refeed strictly. It will take a few weeks to discover what works best for you.
