Depends where they were and what sort off "worker" they were? (I.E what class they were)

Meat pies/pasties were popular in a lot off countries, you might have little carts that sold things to workers.

One idea might be gleaned from Jack London's short story, "To Build a Fire" where the protagonist slathered halved biscuits with lard and put ham in between for his lunch. However, foc'sle sailors were eating salt beef and hardtack.

>What did workers eat for lunch in the 1850s - 1910s?

Workers would go to local bars who put out all kinda free (salty) food for them and they’d chow down and knock back a few beers and a couple of shots before going back to work, then after work they’d stop by the bar again and drink some more and by the time they got home, they were pretty wasted.

This was part of the reason behind the Prohibition movement, as drunk guys would get injured at work and lose their jobs (no workman’s comp back them) and come home and drunkly beat their wives and kids.

Carbs cause death. If you don't eat carbs, you do not age.

People don't realize americans drank like triple the amount they do now before prohibition. Your 10% modern day alcoholics would have been full blow lunatics 24/7 then, your next 10% weekend warriors would have been crippling alcoholics, and like 30-50% of the remaining would rely on it more than they should

A few years ago I arrived really late in the day at my hotel in St. Paul's Bay, Malta and when I asked the cute girl at the bar if they had any sangewedges or whatever that I could eat she said that they didn't but after I bought a beer and sat down she came over to the table with a bowl of crisps for me. She was really nice and friendly.
Maltese beer, unlike the women, is bitter as fuck. They seem to have a real preference for bitter tastes in general.

Odds are you are going to work in overalls and working 14 hour shifts, subsisting on a diet of boiled cabbage and maybe the occasional underseasoned roast. The early industrial era was not a nice time to live.
