The Healthiest Fast Food Options in the Field :-)

From our 'friends' across the Pond @ Jobber. Not sure how the kJ stack up over here ;-)

Jobber’s List of the Healthiest Fast Food Options

If you’ve decided to make the commitment to eat healthier and start feeling better, cooking extra food for lunch – or getting up to cook breakfast – just isn’t an option sometimes. You’re busy – we get that (so are we). When you’re in a hurry, eating healthy can

become nearly impossible. Most fast food chains actually have healthy choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We did a little research and put together our list of the healthiest fast food options we could find at some of the most popular fast food chains. So next time you need food, but McDonald’s or Wendy’s are the closest/only options, remember this list of the the healthiest fast food options and get yourself some healthy lunch!

Healthiest Fast Food Options at McDonald’s

    Onto the serious side, although discussed a long time before, what are people's current eating habits in our job (whether it's eaten at home; packed, taken and ate "on the go"; or a Petrol station purchase) for;

    - Breakfast

    - Lunch

    Are you good or do you give in to temptation ?

  • We find that keeping fairly rigid break times gives the day structure and there are also guidlines of how long employees can work without a break. So we all bring in packed grub and drink.

    Start 7.30.
    Breakfast 10.00 - 10.30
    Lunch 1.00 - 1.30
    Home 4.30.

    Rarely down the cafe, never down the pub.

    Good breakfast is a necessity - normally porridge or wheetabix! Yeah I know how to live.

    A lot of the time I don't stop for lunch, more eat while I work, normally sandwiches and fruit or the like.

    One of my biggest bug bears is trying to get some variety going! and also trying to find ways of taking warm/hot food in a thermos.

    I think if I had an employee then I would legally have to give them structured breaks?
  • On a serious note, get thee away from the horrid layby wagons?

    We have a large permanent Traveller's site nearby, and guess what's parked up there every evening? They currently have for sale one of the older wagons they use at local DIY superstore outlets: how do Come and Queue get away with what must be a cash-in-hand deal to park the chuck-up wagons in their car park?

    No food safety, no personal hygeine, no comeback..

    At least McDonalds are a fairly safe bet salmonella-wise. It's all about accountability, as we try to educate our clients. Why do we think that a scarily-pink sausage from a run-down caravan is a good food choice!

    My personal hate is the big chain hotels and pubs. Breakfast for a couple of quid, in a business like a Wetherspoons or Premier Inn that have massive overheads? Guess what the quality of the ingredients is....

  • Oh for goodness sake...how to eat thread !!! what next a how to tie your boot laces thread...it's not rocket science...sheesh if folk are that lost on what to put in there mouths I'll write them a menu for the week LOL !!!

  • Best fast food? Bananas! Healthy, natural, hygienically wrapped.

  • Haha - just malt loaf and isotonic drinks during the day for me - perfect.
