Meal Planning for Busy, On the Go Employees

MTA schedules aren’t predictable—and that’s exactly why meal planning can feel impossible. In this episode, Senior 360 Health Trainer James Francis sits down with Dr. Donna Thomas to break down what realistic meal planning looks like for busy, on-the-go employees. They discuss how shift work changes the way we should think about meals, why nutrition is often the first thing to slip on exhausting days, and how small, proactive choices can make healthy eating easier (and more affordable). You’ll walk away with simple, low-effort strategies—like creating a go-to snack list, shopping with intention, and bringing one “action-packed” meal with you—so you’re not relying on last-minute choices when you’re running on empty.
