Is this the beginning of a food plan for working days? If you really have no breaks at all then:
a) meal replacement type drink in cup-with-a-lid (or miso soup in insulated cup) on your desk, sip regularly
b) cut up apple (what other fruit/ vegetable appeals to you in this way? Carrot? Banana? Grapes ...) in box to be nibbled when possible.
If you get a break (surely you should get a couple in a ten hour shift?) then try to make sure you do eat (something sensible) at that point, even if you don't want to. It is true that not eating for ten hours is going to drive you straight to the fast-food joint on your way home ...
