A CDC survey showed about 25% of working adults obtain food or beverages at work at least once per week, but many of the foods are high in calories, processed grains, salt and added sugar. The average worker consumed about 1,300 calories per week from office food and drinks. Among the top 10 items obtained at work — either free or purchased — were coffee, water, soft drinks, sandwiches and potato chips.
