Eating at our desks while we continue to peck at our keyboards now seems to be the norm. In fact, 65% of Americans say they eat their lunch at their desks according to pollsters from Right Management. But bringing lunch to work \u2026 is it really<\/em> healthier?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another survey<\/a> of executives said a surprising 40% brown bag their lunches, and only 17% eat \u201cfast food.\u201d Maybe that was surprising to me \u2026 I still assume execs need to meet for power lunches, helping to cement business deals. But maybe even those are waning as everyone, it seems, is trying to do more in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two lunch options for the desk. Running out and grabbing something from the local eatery or brown bagging it from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local snatch-and-grab is bound to be less healthier. Even if you order a grilled chicken sandwich, the bread or side of chips could be unhealthy. And if you let the food servers add the salad dressing to your to-go order, it\u2019s likely to be two to three times what you\u2019d pour on yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing lunch from home is apt to be healthier, but there are lots of ways to be not<\/em>-so-healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
