Hello! I'm happy to have found this board! I've been on and off WW a couple of times, and have had small successes, but I never stick around long. I'd like to get on the bike again, but I would love some advice. I really want to utilize the app more, and become more faithful in my tracking. However, my problem is that I work from 7p to 7a and sleep during the day. This has me quite confused as to how I should track and stay accurate. Do I track my breakfast as dinner and overlap days? Do I backtrack and put all my meals on the same day? Does it even matter? Lol!!! Does anyone else have this issue and have any ideas? I have searched and posted on the WW forums, but only got 3 of the same reply - pack all your food for the night. Yeah, I knew that much... Heh Anyway.. All help is welcomed and appreciated. It's nice to meet you all!

Welcome I would probably just ignore the am/pm settings and input your "day". If you're eating a normal break/lunch/dinner, input it that way If your week starts on Monday, even if it's 6pm, just make the first entry breakfast for Monday. If lunch is at 10pm, make it lunch on Monday, same with dinner

anikahangel, Welcome to these boards. I never really used Connect on WW. I find this forum much better for back and forth discussions. Good advice from DotRen. I'd just set it up for whatever 24 hour period works for you and ignore the names of the meals. I don't work nights as you do but I often do intermittent fasting. For breakfast I just put black coffee. I then put my first meal for the day in as lunch, though I actually think of it as breakfast, I put my second meal in the snack slot, though I actually think of it as lunch, and I put dinner in as dinner. Several years ago I was doing something that people were calling reverse tracking. I thought of my tracker as a 24 hour plan with dinner as the first meal of the day. So I started my 24 hours on Sunday night and put in my Sunday night dinner. Breakfast went in as Monday breakfast, lunch went in as Monday lunch. Then dinner on Monday night started my next 24 hour period. This helped me because dinner was my biggest meal, and I could fill in breakfast and lunch easily with whatever points I had left over. Sorry if this all sounds long winded and confusing. My point is to set up your 24 hour period for however works best for you. You may have to try it different ways until you figure it out. Let us know how it's going.

anikahangel welcome to the boards! ^what they said. The main thing would be to stay consistent. As long as you do the same thing on your days off you will do fine.
