Hahaha…yes, I almost always have food on my desk. Usually it’s not quite as healthy as yours though and generally includes a glass of wine (evening) or cup of hot tea (morning). Although today I had a bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup at my desk….but it was hard to type while I was eating that so I had to watch YouTube videos until it was finished.
I usually only have food when it’s lunch time. Otherwise it’s mostly a drink.
Wow, the timing of this article, it’s like you’re watching me!!
I have food at my desk occasionally when it’s lunchtime. Otherwise, no.
Snacking + Desk job + Lack of exercise = Badness
All too often I’d say! Although not often is it food but rather COFFEE! Oye! I’d die without my coffee! It’s a vital key to my survival!
Every day my desk starts off nice and tidy, and progressively gathers Rockstar cans and tea cups by the day’s end.
I never have food on my desk. What I do have is a 1lt. water bottle which I refill several times a day.
There’s often a can of canada dry on my desk along with some chips if I am bored and feel like chewing something…
I’m from Santa Fe, Argentina so when i work i usually drink Mate. It’s great company..
Who doesn’t know mate: http://www.paracuriosos.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mate.jpg
I only keep water or tea at my desk.
I always have a can of Pepsi on my desk and they pile up. Sometimes I play bowling with the empty ones!
Always have a Water bottle and Coffee sometime. If i have snack in my desktop, i can`t concentrate on work, ill do finish the snacks and do the work.
Fav = Chocolate cake and biscuits. with large coffee !
Just mineral water, and that’s enough
for the sake of health and to lose fat 
I try to keep food and drink away from my desk while I’m working. It’s too easy to spill something or get crumbs stuck in your keyboard.
That being said, I usually start my morning off with some breakfast in front of the computer so I can catch up on my feeds and emails. So far, I still have a clean desk and working computer
Urgh I snack so badly at work. I’ll usually be eating tic tacs, muesli bars, I’ve been hooked on bringing in a pre-sliced apple, pick-able cereal, or anything bite-sized. Just something to munch on. Horrible habit I picked up on whilst working retail and doing 8+ hour shifts with potentially no breaks.
I always have a bottle of water and sometimes juice (free drinks provided by work), so there’s always food/drink scattered across my desk
I’m much better whilst working from home though. Figure that out, eh?
Yeah… I do. Its led to quite a few anxious moments over the years but I cant help it
Coffee!! Actually, I switched to decaf because of the amount of coffee I drink every day! Other than that, not much else.
I do often have food on my desk. It had not affected my shape yet, bit I think it can be quite bad for my concentration. I take eating as a break, eating and breaks keeps up the good work
Yes. I always keep something to drink on my table.
No, I wont mess up my work with food, often you may find a cup of black tea ! But I will take short breaks to take some snacks
Only drinks, water or coffee. No snacks or meals.
Snacks or meals make my keyboard and Wacom tablet dirty.
Almost always.. My day starts off nice and tidy with nothing on it except my morning coffee to get me going then by the end of the day i usually have a mix of AMP Energy Drinks, Coke Cans, 7UP, and water. and usually about 5-7 little baggies of Fruit Snacks. Coding makes me hungry/thirsty.
Mostly only a water bottle but sometimes also some snacks
I drink water (I think the cleaned water is the healthy and best tasting). I have a glass bottle wich is around 1 liter.
I juice lemon into the bottle. Water + lemon. Thats’s fine and healthy. (No sugar)
Coffee first thing, then water, with breakfast, then wine in the evening. No exercise, my body has suffered over the last year!
I eat all day long
I keep my desk clean and tidy though, no crumbs 
I always have a “Snack-a-juice” fruit juice next to my screen with a few dozen packs of noodles in the drawer
Food on the desk?? I though it was a must
Only drinks. Eating a lot + desk job = baadddd. If theres food laying nearby is tends to disappear while I’m distracted ha. I eat more out of boredom than from hungar :p.
It depends entirely on whether or not the kids are home. If they *are* then, no, because having anything on my desk is an accident waiting to happen.
If they’re not home, then I keep whatever healthy snackage I’m into within arms reach.
A Venti latte and a bottle of water. No food.
Talk about timely (sine I’m having lunch while I read today’s feeds).
I always have both coffee and water on my desk when I work. At the day job, however, I also keep a stash of (usually) somewhat healthy snacks in my desk (that way I avoid hitting the vending machine and it’s siren song of chips and candy bars.
I have a lot of drinks on my desk when i work. I need a fresh body to have a fresh mind.:)
Coffee
Water bottle, rarely few bananas and very rarely biscuit pocket before ants start marching.
I usually have a bottled water and some peeled organic carrots next to me
I do drink and eat at my desk, I even eat my diner at my desk :$
My coke and my cigarettes, thats it
I am currently staring at; a jar of mixed nuts- for when I’m hungry but too busy to move, litre water, 12 chocolate wrappers (contents now smeared on my face), 1/2 a box of crackers, and 2 carrots (just so when my wife badgers me about eating healthy I can produce evidence)
