It is very hard to find any kind of ready prepared or fast food that contains no hidden cheese or yeast extract. I did find a few though, but mostly had to live of a very simple diet of bread, beans on toast, cereals etc. It had some advantages in that I had to switch to cooking things from scratch myself and switch to a healthier diet. Some people have reported being able to eat foodstuffs containing yeast extract though, so long as it's listed towards the end of the ingredients (meaning it's only present in small quantities). Others have claimed to be able to eat McDonalds without any problems, but I wouldn't want to do that myself.
A few Nardil users have used cheese to counteract the hypotension, but again that isn't something that anyone would recommend on a large scale. According to Dr. Ken Gillman it's the amount of tyramine that hits the stomach at once that dictates the risk of hypertensive crisis as much as the amount of tyramine consumed overall. This means that you might be able to get away with small amounts of tyramine rich foods so long as they're eaten as part of a large meal.
