People who love a bit of fast food have the chance to earn £1,000 for eating food from chains including McDonald's, Greggs and Subway.
MaterialsMarket will select six successful applicants to conduct the research and become part of the 'Takeaway Testers' team. They will have to find out how long the food keeps them full, along with noting what their energy levels are after eating.
Over one month, the testers will also have to note if what they eat makes them 'slump', have a 'food coma' or a sugar crash. According to LancsLive, people will get paid £1,000 and all expenses will be paid for each meal consumed.

During the month experiment, the testers will have to have a different meal a day for either lunch or breakfast. They will sample 20 of the most popular meals as previously voted by tradespeople from a range of fast-food restaurants across the UK.
Some of the meals included are the Greggs Sausage and Omelette Breakfast Baguette, McDonald’s large Big Mac meal and a footlong Subway Meatball Marinara. The testers will need to log a diary of how they are feeling after each meal.
People will need to immediately log their levels of fullness, energy, productivity, sluggishness and overall satisfaction. They will also need to keep a log of how they feel for two and four hours after eating.
After the month is over, the candidate will then report their findings back to Materials Market. They will then look at the data with a nutritionist to conduct a full analysis.
This will then be used to create a guide on the best meals for on the go for its community of professional and hobbyist builders. If people are interested in becoming part of the experiment, they can apply for the role here.
People have until May 27 to apply and if you are successful, you will be selected soon after. People must be 18 years old or over to apply and no previous qualifications or experience are required.
Co-founder of Materials Market Samuel Hunt said: "If you head into your local Greggs or McDonald’s early morning or at lunchtime it’s very likely you’ll see tradesmen getting their fuel for the day. Although fast food has negative connotations, for tradespeople those meals are convenient fuel for them. In trade jobs you're physically put to work and as a result, burn lots of calories, so a substantial meal is a necessity to keep you full, satisfied and energised throughout the working day.
"We’re really excited to launch this experiment. As we will work with a nutritionist on the findings, we’re looking forward to sharing the best 'fast food' meals to eat when on the job with our community.
