Common questions about shift meals
What are good shift meals for people who work long hours?
The best shift meals are ones you don't have to cook during or after your shift. Batch-cooked dishes like stir-fries, grain bowls, soups, and protein-rich stews reheat in 3–4 minutes and hold well in the fridge for 3–4 days. ShiftEATS generates meals exactly like these, tailored to your diet and shift pattern.
How do I plan my meals around a shift pattern?
Enter your rota into ShiftEATS — which days you work, which are nights, and your shift start and end times. The app generates a complete meal plan for your working days and plans a batch cooking session on your first day off. Everything is timed to your actual schedule, not a generic week.
What shift patterns does ShiftEATS support?
ShiftEATS supports any shift pattern you can describe — 4 on 4 off, 3 on 3 off, 2 on 2 off, continental shifts, rotating days and nights, long days and nights, and custom patterns. You enter your actual rota and the app builds around it.
Can I use ShiftEATS if I work nights some weeks and days others?
Yes. When you enter your rota, you mark which shifts are day shifts and which are nights. ShiftEATS generates different meals for each — lighter, night-appropriate options for overnight shifts, and fuller meals for daytime shifts.
Is there a free trial?
