What options does he have in the way of reheating food? A typical nightshift meal for my DH is usually meat and veg (I cook it before he goes to work and do enough for the kids and I too - just like we would normally have), a dessert (usually custard and pudding or something like that) and smoko is normally either a cheese and bacon roll, buttered that he heats up or a sandwich that he can toast, a piece of cake and some biscuits. He eats better when he is at work LOL.

During day shifts he has leftovers from the previous nights meal or I will make him a salad and cold meat or cook sausages that he can reheat and put the dressing in a small container so the salad doesn't go soggy. I will make him pizza, lasagne, pasta/potato bake etc and then he usually always has the same smoko.

It saves us an absolute bundle of money doing it this way too - some blokes he works with who buy their food can spend up to $20 a day to buy enough to get them through.
