As a nation we all lead busy lives and more often than not people say they don’t have time to sit down and eat decent meals, however, a recent survey by Feasters reveled three-quarters of us are actually eating MORE than three meals a day!
The survey results showed seven out of 10 people no longer eat three meals a day with most preferring to snack instead. And half of Britons admitted they grazed on food due to boredom, and almost a quarter (23 per cent) described themselves as emotional eaters who turned to food at times of crisis. It also revealed that boredom played a key role for women and men, with 57 per cent of ladies and 40 per cent of gentlemen opting for a meal when the day was dragging.
Nicola O'Dwyer, of the food company Feasters, said: 'Our survey has given us an extensive insight in to the UK's snacking habits and, after looking at the results, it seems the days of having three square meals a day has long gone.
'Today's generation appear to prefer quick, convenient snacks over preparing a meal. This is far from surprising when you consider hectic work schedules, social lives and other activities, which fill up the day.
'However, the reasons behind the UK's snacking habits, including sadness, stress and boredom, are more shocking.'
So, if you do see yourself as a ‘snacking type’ and someone who would prefer to snack than eat three large meals r-e-m-e-m-b-e-r Modern Milk is now on sale at McColl’s!
