I did a few 3 day fasts, not that hard. But I did themnover the weekend starting Thursday. Could I work (manual labor) and fast for 5,6,7 days?

Don't even try! I'm assuming that you're still running on calories from Thursday into Friday, then resting on the weekend, right? Your metabolism and sleep will suffer if labor throughout the week with a complete fast. It's also something you have to ease into.
I would definitely recommend a high-protein breakfast (especially eggs) to carry you through the day, skipping lunch, then maybe having a small portion of something easy to digest (depending on how you feel) five hours before bedtime.
However, if you have health insurance or a supplemental health insurance plan. it might provide a free consultation with a nutritionist. You should definitely speak with one to understand your needs and goals based on your weight and age.
