I do 15 hour shifts, tomorrow I do a 15hr sleep in then a 9 hour thursday friday.
I've made a 'One pan Winter Hash' which I will divide into portions. That's breakfast's done I reheat in a microwave if I can't use the oven.
Lunch is usually homemade soup, or a sandwich with fruit or a salad.
Dinner, if I have leftovers (bolognese/chilli/casserole) in the freezer I take those, and have a jacket potato or rice cooked in the microwave with it.
For a quick one I have Asda Chickpea Dahl, Savoury Rice and some cook in the bag veggies (Sugar snap peas etc).

Well I work 12 hours but I only have breakfast and lunch at work! I just make sure I have tons of fruit and other free snacks.....
My breakfast consisted of raspberries and muller light
And lunch was a jacket potato with beans and light philly and a side salad!
Tomorrow I'll have for lunch salad with tuna and cous cous
Thursday I will probably have pasta with tinned tomatoes, sweetcorn, peppers, mushrooms, onions heated up
Hope this helps

I also work some long shifts, I found I need to be mega organised to get it all ready. I usually have porridge for breakfast then a pasta lunch (cold) then I warm up a meal I cooked the night before (spag Bol etc) then snack on fruit and carrot sticks. I had a mug shot yesterday too as I was hungry. X
