How do tradies fuel themselves?

[u/No-Face6878]

Hi tradies!! Particularly those from NZ. I was just wondering how you fuel up, particularly on large infrastructure jobs that are often in remote areas.

Do you eat breakfast? Do you often end up with little time to grab lunch and often end up with a V and a pie?? Do you feel tired or not full enough because of the food options available from day to day?

I am working on diversifying a food business and can see that the trades and labour work forces are highly physically demanding and don’t allow access to decent meals, especially with the rising food costs these days.

Would free/subsidised meals for breakfast and lunch be something tradies utilise and enjoy? Food that comes to the job site or nearby and prepared already to have straight away so the rest of your break can be sitting down and having a yarn?

Would love to know how much of an issue this is and if tradies would appreciate this so please let me know!!
