Chances are you're not the only one in your office glued to your chair during lunch so you can multitask while you munch. As many as two-thirds of workers eat lunch on the job more than once a week, according to a recent survey conducted by the American Dietetic Association and ConAgra Foods, which makes more than 35 brands of packaged foods. The practice has its perks: Not only do you save time when you dine at your desk, but preparing your own lunch is also the best way to stay in control of what (and how much) you eat, says Chris Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, associate professor of nutrition at Georgia State University. Not to mention the fact that you can save a few bucks—and splurge on a special lunch later.
