Healthy work lunches hard to find
If you struggle to eat a healthy lunch during your workday, a new survey suggests you’re far from alone.
The survey of adults who typically eat lunch during work hours found that 56% said they struggled to have a healthy lunch at work, while 77% said they’re more likely to make healthier decisions at other times of the day if they have a healthy lunch.
“The finding that healthier food choices at work may impact food choices throughout the rest of the day presents a unique opportunity for the workplace to have a positive influence on not only the employee’s health, but also the health of the employee’s family,” the study said.
Overall, 91% of respondents said they were interested in having a more healthy workday lunch; 82% of respondents said that having healthy food options at work is important to them, and 68% value help from their employer in becoming healthier.
