What has working from home done to our diets?
Briefly

Before the pandemic, office lunch breaks were often rushed, with many opting for unhealthy ultra-processed foods due to convenience. Recent data highlights mixed outcomes as employees often skip meals while working from home, driven by back-to-back meetings. However, the shift to remote work has also facilitated more home-cooked meals, resulting in healthier choices in some cases. Surveys reveal a significant percentage of workers struggle with lunchtime, indicating that while access to kitchens has potential benefits, it comes with its own challenges.
Many workers are now 40% more likely to skip lunch compared to last year, often having back-to-back meetings during the work-from-home period.
The British Dietetic Association emphasizes that working from home can lead to skipping lunches due to the lack of social cues that remind one to take breaks.
