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 you had in the office.
The average female office worker consumes a third of her daily calorie allowance – around 650 calories, on snacks such as chocolate a survey’ by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, based on the opinions of 1,947 women who have a full-time job in an office environment, has revealed.
Research shows the most popular snack food among women at work was chocolate, followed by fruit and then crisps. Nine out of ten female office workers confessed to snacking at their desks. The total number of calories consumed was then added up and 50% of the women said they ate between 650 and 750 calories a day, this is around a third of the Government's recommendations of 2,000 calories-a-day for women.
Almost two thirds of the women who took part in the study said that they snack more whilst in the office than they do when they are at home.

Its definitely true that we all have treats in the office but I have it on good authority that they don't count ... chocolates, biscuits and sweets eaten in the office contain no calories, no sugar, no artificial substances only nuts!
The most nutritious food stuff to sustain you through a cold and boring winter must be beligian chocolate. Bring it on mmmmm.
