How do you manage to eat healthy when you're poor and have to work long hours to get by? Any cheap and non time consuming healthy food ideas and tips are appreciated

Premake meals on your days off and fridge/freeze them, saves a lot of time.
Protein Bars, not expensive if you make them yourself, usually oats, whey, peanut butter based.
If calories is your goal then drink lots of milk.
I used to work in retail management and sometimes i would go 10-12+hours without much (if any) of a break. To fit my macros in, I made myself eat huge in the morning when I got up and huge right after work, with protein bars, milk, jerky snacks making up the little time I had in between stuff.
Accept that it's going to suck, and long hours/hectic lifestyle and few breaks means you won't be able to eat the best sources of food some days, but gains are certainly achieveable with a lot of discipline.
If you find yourself struggling spend what little time you have getting a job or position where you have a bit more free time. I was paid very, very well for my previous job but it sucked hard and now I earn a little less doing 9-4/5 and its so much easier to micro manage things like diet with a consistant day.
Mcdonalds is not,a cheap meal. Stop with this meme
