Sounds dumb as fuck, desu. I love me a good food truck but I'd rather buy rental properties. I hate working.

there is actually the subsection of people who go to the gym regularly but still eat like shit

Sounds like a solid idea.
Why not a small restaurant in the neighborhood .?

Only issue with a truck is Lots of BS about permits and bs with turf wars.
Then you also need to park it after use.
Most hoa will not allow it parked in your driveway.

Best of luck to you.

Mcdicks double cheeseburger is a perfect post workout meal, actually. Drop the drinks and fries though.

I'd go sell vegan stuff in places with lots of hipster females.

Offer stuff that the non-vegan boyfriend is cool with and everyone is happy.

The only reason food trucks became popular is due to 2008. People got laid off and had four or five mouths to feed. You don't need to buy property with a food truck

Guys bulking will just get a cheaper big mac.
Anyone seriously looking into diet will probably have a nuanced plan requiring certain macro nutrient ratios or food groups or whichever fad is popular at the time.

The leftover crowd you could cater for, still have the mental obstacle of eating out of the back of a truck. It's a perception problem. "Healthy" is an emotive or superficial thing to a lot of casual gym goers. Drinking shit loads of sugary fruit juices seem "healthy" to them, eating from a food truck would seem "non-healthy" regardless of content.

Profit margins would be slim too. Protein usually follows that classic trio of attributes where you can only pick 2 options.

>Tasty
>Cheap
>Quality*
Pick 2.

*Quality here being something "clean" with a good protein per calorie ration.
