I have put on about 30 lbs in the past 2 years from 145 to 175 on a 5'8" frame. I am pudgy now where I used to be very thin. I want to lose the fat and gain strength and mass. This is my problem: I work 2 full time jobs, one overnight, and one day shift 5 days a week and sleep 3-4 hours an afternoon on those days. I want to get into the gym, and diet, but it is very difficult to do with any regularity, and everyone(this site included) says that proper rest(7-8 hours or more) is the key to gaining mass and burning fat. Any suggestions for diet and workout program would be hugely appreciated. I have been lax about this in the past but I think I'm ready to buckle down. Thanks for any help. Lee
