Hi there,

I've been reading some forums for quite some time now but I have only just registered, just wanted to say hello to you all and look for a bit of advice regarding my diet.

I used to go to a gym a few years ago but overdid it and did my back in, lesson learned. But a recent job change has given me the opportunity to have another go. So i'll be going along to see a PT soon. But what I really need to sort out is my diet.

I've read Gordys sticky on diet, as im looking to be 'bulking up' (im quite a small guy at 5'7" and 113lbs) and its answered most of my questions about what to eat, quantity etc. But I am finding it very difficult to adapt my diet due to the shift patterns I work.

Basically I do any shift from an early start (7am-2.30pm) a day shift (11.30-7pm) to a late shift (4.30pm-12). Doing a combination of these (Mainly a series of lates followed by a day then an early) makes it difficult for me to find a routine to stick to. Also as I work in an airport I'm not aloud to take liquids into my office.

Any advice about timings would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post, but by looking at other threads you guys obviously know your stuff and are more than willing to help :)

Thanks guys

Ok cool thanks for your suggestions, precooked and prepacked food it is then. Might get some strange looks at work when I start constantly eating though!

I'll be sorting out the diet over then next few days so I'll post it when I've got something sorted.

Thanks again. :)
 
I'll have to just take in the shake powder and make it up in work due to airport restrictions on liquids... But yeah cheers for the suggestion
