Working From Home Could Have An Impact On Your Waistline

Tuesday, 26 September 2023 10:22

On average, people working from home consume more calories than those in the office.

People who work from home could be eating an extra 800 calories a day and walking 3 thousand 500 fewer steps.

2,000 hybrid workers were asked to take note of what they ate and track to their activity using a Fitbit or Apple Watch.

On average, those who worked from home consumed 2,752 calories, compared to 1,961 during a typical day when they travelled to the office.

Researchers at MyFitnessPal say working remotely can lead to less healthy lifestyle choices due to a feeling of comfort from working at home and lack of routine, according to the Daily Mail.
