You’ve had fruit for breakfast and a salad for lunch.
But before you congratulate yourself, perhaps you should add to the tally those three chocolate biscuits and a muffin.
The average female office worker consumes a third of her daily calorie allowance – around 650 calories – on snacks such as chocolate, a survey has revealed.
Research shows the most popular snack food among women at work was chocolate, followed by fruit and then crisps
And this isn’t due to hunger, it suggests, but simply down to boredom.
Nine out of ten female office workers – 87 per cent – confessed to snacking at their desks and listed the foods they ate during the average day.
The total number of calories consumed was then added up and half of the women – 51 per cent – said they ate between 650 and 750 calories a day on just snacks.
This is around a third of the Government’s recommendations of 2,000 calories-a-day for women.
A further two per cent of the female office workers polled said that they ate snacks throughout the working day adding up to 850 to 950 calories, according to the survey.
However, nine per cent were better behaved and said they consumed 150 to 250 calories a day on snack food.
The women polled differed on their reasons for snacking, but most – 49 per cent – said it was simply down to boredom, while a tenth – 11 per cent – said it was to be sociable.
Popular snack foods included chocolate, the top choice of 41 per cent of women, followed by fruit, at 36 per and crisps at 31 per cent.
Almost two thirds – 64 per cent – of the women who took part in the study said that they snack more whilst in the office than they do when at home.
The survey, compiled by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, was based on the opinions of 1,947 women who have a full-time job in an office environment.
I just wanted to get in touch with the results of a new study into the eating habits of office workers, which revealed that the average female office worker consumes a third of her daily calorie allowance on snacks in the office alone.
Mark Pearson, chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, said: ‘In an office environment, it can be very easy give in to snacking on the treats available and resisting them can be very difficult.’
