I have a problem which I believe everybody has encountered. From time to time, like today, I usually wake up around 10AM-noon, after being awake until 3-4AM.

Question is: what is the best way to deal with these days, nutritionally and training wise? Would it be a reduced amount of calories? Still 5-6 meals a day? That would be a lot of eating in the amount of hours I'm still awake (assuming that I want to go early to bed to be able to get up early in the morning again). How about training? What would be the best alternative, having the messed up biological clock?

Would be happy for every pointers, because I feel these kind of days disrupt my efforts in cutting...

I'd just eat the meals that you're awake for. As in, if you normally eat two of your 6 meals before 12PM but you don't wake up until then, just forget about those two that you slept through. At the end of the day, what's important is not so much that you reached your target "daily" amount of food, but that you steadily and continuously supplied your body with the right kind and amount of nutrients.

Totally agree! I have read from various places never to catch up on what you already missed.

As far as exercise goes on your "short day" IMO I wouldn't do cardio to close to bed time most of the things I have read and experienced personally is it makes me stay up at night so you will have another "short day" the next day. If you can't fit it in your schedule then take it off so that won't happen.

Keep your head up!

Thanks for the tips, guys!
