Are they basing this on weight vs height = BMI? Cause that's flawed as fuck. I've lived in four states and I haven't seen a fat firefighter yet, let alone an obese one. I've actually knew an overweight EMT, but he was a goddamned gorilla. The rest were all body-builder level physique or skinny.

Your obesity rate has less to do with your actual job as your economic background. If you suddenly have funds to eat, and aren't from a gourmand and health conscious family (ie class ranking), you will lose all common sense, and eat to excess because you can. On the flipside, if you are from such a poor economic background, you will overindulge in starch and fat (hispanic diets), and the processed foods on sale at the local big market, as you "treat" yourself and your children. Also, your obesity has to do with your past fat cell padding, such as from football pasts, or just obese parents/childhood. Anyone abused is higher risk, as well.

I don't think these stats are correctly including those factors, as to who is drawn to these jobs from economic backgrounds (such as physicians). Nor are they making the correlation to sedentary work, to overwork and little time for aerobic exercise, or commuting distances. Fit cities include a lot of walking, like D.C and Manhattan. Obese cities are spread out like Houston, and have long hours in cars. High stress jobs, like trial attorneys, have that cortisol level and poor sleep issue which affects fat.

If you are going to be in a truck, you need to maintain a habit of strict mealtimes, I'd say. You need to have an exercise regimen pre-shower each day, even if it's situps on the carpet in your hotel room, or jumping jacks outside of your truck. Mental fitness and alertness will follow. Ice chest in car. For snacks, I'd nuke and chill down edamame. Bagged carrot sticks. Low sodium beef jerky. Dried fruit and unsalted nuts (take it easy). All water, all the time. Forget soft drinks, coffee, tea, and the rest with sugar and artificial sweeteners. Water is your friend. Buy at groceries, not convenience stores, by the gallon. Pop in for salad kits, and add the dressing to the bag, shake and pour out onto a plate or cup. Unsweetened tea vs coffee (less acidic on the heartburn profession of trucking).

I don't do over the road trucking, but I work with guys that do.

2 paramount points to follow
Don't eat junk. Don't snack. At all. Bring your own home cooked meals or visit a grocery store every day. Vegetables will stay good in your truck for the day and night.
Second is to exercise. Run every night. If you're an otr guy you can bring a bike with you. If not go for a run in the morning or at night near your home terminal as you get off work.

Follow both of these and you will be fine. You do not want to end up like some of the otr guys. Go sit at a truck stop for an hour or so and watch some of these fat fucking pieces of human garbage waddle in for their gallon of coke, bag of chips and pack of smokes while their stomach hangs out beneath the lip of their shirt. It will make you want to vomit.

And the smell.......

Me again. I travel a lot in my car and stay in hotels. Most of which don't have fridges. If you're in the same boat with a truck I strongly suggest going to a grocery and building meals that you can make with any appliances.

My go to is a Nalgene bottle filled with oats, nuts, seeds, whatever. I can pack a few of them for the week. The night before I plan to consume it I just add water and let it sit over night. Add more water in the morning and you can basically drink it. I munch on carrots and broccoli all day. Maybe buy a small bag of spinach and make a small salad. You can get creative.

IT's a flawed study. Nurses are notoriously obese when they should know better. Long hours, stress, working on one's feet causing post-work fatigue, etc. This study isn't accurate geographically, that's for sure. The demographic varies by city. Some workplaces promote wellness within, better than others, with gyms, other activities, and incentives that save on insurance deductions. Flight attendants lose their jobs if they tip over a given allowable amount.

I would think the grill jockeys at shitholes like Denny's would balance this out, but if you've ever looked in a higher-class kitchen you won't see many fatasses. It's too demanding, too sweaty and physical, to put on a lot of weight. Plus, they have a better knowledge of how to make food taste good, unlike the average American that craves only sugar and fat.
