Meals and meal-timing for shift workers
Nutrition considerations in shift work
Monday December 2, 2019

The presentation covers:
- An overview of the human body clock
- How eating late in the night affects our metabolic health
- What influences shift workers’ food choices & eating patterns?
- Dietary suggestions for shift workers to help stay healthy
About the Presenter
Gloria Leung is a PhD candidate from the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food at Monash University. Her thesis examines the effects of meal timing on metabolic health, particularly that of shift workers. Her research aims to generate evidence that can be used to advocate for changes in workplace health policies and also assist dietitians in providing evidence-based recommendations to shift workers. In her spare time, Gloria enjoys cooking (for humans and dogs), and likes to show those around her that nutritionists/dietitians do not only live off salad and quinoa.
