Eating 9 to 5

Rushed mornings, no time for a lunch break, food-filled meetings, workplace celebrations and end of day dinner struggles; workday challenges can make it difficult to eat well.

Eating well at work can boost concentration, productivity and vitality. It can also reduce missed days of work by helping to improve overall health.

The goal of the 2015 national Nutrition Month campaign is to inspire Canadians to eat better at work and make other positive changes for a healthier workplace and nutrition environment.

The Nutrition Month campaign focuses on five common challenging times workers report facing from 9:00am to 5:00pm:

  • Rushed Mornings
  • Meetings, Events and the Workplace
  • Lunchtime
  • Mid-Day Slump
  • Commuter Cravings

Dietitians of Canada designed 31 ready-to-go, evidence based, PEN-approved, Nutrition Month tips that address those challenges and offer solutions to conquer them.

45% of Canadians say that eating healthy meals and snacks while at work is challenging. (Dietitians of Canada. Ipsos Reid Poll Results. Spring 2014.)

Success Stories

There wasn’t anything that I couldn’t eat while on the program as long as I understood what I was eating and the impact it would have on my progress. Success was up to me. A simple, initial target to lose 5 -10 pounds turned into an updated goal of losing 30 pounds. When that was achieved over six months, without ever feeling hungry, I decided to go for 40 pounds, which is where I was many, many years ago. Having achieved that milestone, Andrea and I are now working on a strategy to stabilize my weight loss and to ensure that the eating habit improvements achieved are embedded into my normal routine.
