Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Hire

A worker may not do his own work at night and hire himself out during the day,

or thresh with his cow in the evening and hire her out for the day; nor may he starve himself,

giving away his own food to his children,

because he will be depriving his employer of the benefit of his work,

since he will be physically and mentally weakened

and therefore be unable to do the work for his employer with strength.
