    Default How many calories for work?

    If you work a long shift, 8 hours say, and go onstage twice an hour for two songs and do a lot of pole tricks, plus lap dances and whatnot, how many calories does one legitmately need to make it through the shift?

    Last week there was no housemom and no food, and when hungry I am virtually useless at work. My energy sinks to the floor and I can't focus on converasation. But I am reluctant to bring in too many snacks for fear that I will eat too much. Opinions?

    Yep, I usually bring a sandwich for a "midnight snack" when I work, it's better than getting chicken fingers from the kitchen. They are good though, but nothing beats boar's head cold cuts!

    When I'm at work, I feel like I'm missing money if I take a break, so I usually starve. Ocassionally I'll bring in some fruit, or break down and order a meal. When I worked 3 weeks without a day off I lost about 12 pounds....... I just couldn't eat enough calories when I wasn't working.

    Click on the activity calculator on this site and it will give you an idea of what you're burning. (I don't think they have pole tricks listed : P) You'll probably be suprised of how high the number is.

    It depends on your metabolism, really. I would suggest talking to a professional, either a doctor or a nutritionalist about what your specific body needs. I usually take whatever I know my body needs normally and double, if not triple it. At work, I usually bring something non-perishable that I can keep in my locker... something that will last all night. Chips, nuts, pretzels, etc. That way it's there if I need it, for the whole shift.

    I usually dont eat at work, but I keep a protein bar or granola bar of some sort with me just in case I need it. Quick, easy and packed with energy
