Rotating shift workers consume more kilojoules, and eat more junk food and less nutritious foods than day workers, according to a Monash University-led study. The systemic review of dietary habit and energy intake found rotating shift workers had higher average 24-hour energy intake than day workers. For each recorded day of kilojoule intake, rotating shift workers ate on average 264 more kilojoules than regular day workers. An increase of just 100 kilojoules each day can lead to a .5 kilogram weight gain over a year. dr.
