    Don't you have a break room? I work long hours at a store as well and can be there for 12+ hours a day so to ensure I am eating healthy meals I simply pack my own. Planning can not only save your wallet but your body as well.

    Google whatever fast food restaurants are there and "best healthy options" to get some ideas. You can find some great options at a lot of places. If you could pack one meal and then eat your other meal there, that'd definitely be an easier option though!

    bring your own lunch. you will save money and eat better. I work at a pizza place but bring my own lunch. I make myself a sandwich or wrap with turkey, bring fruit, and always have my water with me.

    I work in a mall too. I bring my meals and it's such a great thing. It saves you so much money in addition to calories. McDonalds has a southwest salad with grilled chicken that I love and get often, and sometimes I get a wrap from Au Bon Pain, or a 6 inch veggie pattie sandwich from Subway.

    The problem with a lot of "healthy" fast food and restaurant options, is that if you read the fine print, the stated calorie count usually doesn't include some of the ingredients (dressing, croutons, etc) I was once given a calorie count for a Burger King salad with grilled chicken (the cashier looked on a big poster they had of nutritional info) ...upon further inspection, that count didn't even include the chicken!!!
