Dieting/ working out while working night shifts
As the title says I'm currently working 12hr night shifts from 6pm-6am and am struggling horribly with my dieting and being able to get in a true workout routine. Was wondering if there is anyone out there that has had to convert/work with the same type of schedule. Any feedback is appreciated thank you!

I must have just said "get it done" half a dozen times in that post..but its the truth
Have you noticed what kai greene calls himself? "Mr getting it done" i feel it simply means, yes its hardwork, yes its a struggle, there will always be obstacles and challenges but if its what you want you will get it done regardless...
If you want it bad enough you will make it work.

Yeah I think it's just pushing through the mental aspect. The bad part is I'll be here for 6 months straight with no days off doing 12 hour nights. I'm 2 months in and I had lost all motivation to make it to the gym/ prep my meals etc. this last week I've been getting back into it and just started up my cycle and hoping that brings my energy/desire to eat up. (I'm sure it will). Just hope I can force myself into a sleep/eating cycle . As always I appreciate the feedback though

You too brother! I'm going to give it my best and hopefully at the end of this 6 month contract I'll be better than before I got here.

6 months straight is fkn rough, for me after a couple of days in my body has adjusted to getting the meals down very easily...i would deff advocate day on day off training, something like a p/p/l split..low volume high intensity, go hard for a day then the following day straight to sleep..you may just need a break how long has it been since youve taken a week off the gym? Deffertly read into training deloads, cycle your training. working that many hours dont be in the gym more than 4 days a week, you sound burnt out like you need some rest.

i work 6pm to 6am aswell... not much more i can add to what auswest has already said... i try to keep my eating/training schedule the same as i would through the day. i find my appetite decreases during the night, but you just have to force it down. i train straight after work and i have no problem sleeping during the day. if you find you're too wrecked straight after work, try training before work. just find what suits you

I work 7p to 7a I have found it’s all about planning and staying organized and NOT making excuses. Saying shit like “oh I did legs or back I can have a shit meal.” I mean that’s okay every once in a while but as long as ur not lazy and plan correct you will be just fine.
