Survey: More than half of U.S. employees struggle to eat healthy during work hours
Nearly nine in 10 (86%) prepare work lunches at home at least some of the time, with women more likely to do so than men (91% vs. 82%).
More than half (56%) of employed Americans who typically eat lunch during work hours struggle to eat a healthy lunch at work, and more than three-quarters (77%) say they're more likely to make healthier decisions at other times of the day if they eat healthy at lunch, according to a new survey from the American Heart Association, Dallas, Texas, and Aramark Corp., Philadelphia.
The survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll, Rochester, N.Y., among 907 employed U.S. adults aged 18 or older who say they typically eat lunch during work hours. The survey was conducted on behalf of the American Heart Association and Aramark as part of their joint initiative, Healthy for Life 20 By 20.
