Many workers just grab a quick sandwich at lunch, meaning by the time mid-afternoon hits, they are ready for a snack.
However, rather than opting for a biscuit or packet of crisps, workers are advised to opt for a tasty treat from the office fruit basket, which can help them last until dinnertime without being unhealthy.
Recent research conducted by the Atkins Diet team highlighted that between 3 and 3.30pm is when most people forget their healthy eating intentions and give into the temptation of an afternoon snack.
"This is the time when most dieters are susceptible to failure because of a number of different factors, namely a dip in energy mid-afternoon and the use of food as an emotional crutch," nutritionist Linda O'Byrne said.
"This could be down to either stress, boredom or the many other ranges of emotion that we go through on any given day."
Rather than snacking on something unhealthy, workers are advised to try something from the office fruit delivery.
A banana is not only tasty but is also full of energy-boosting natural sugars, which will help people make it until home time, while apples are full of vitamin A which helps with vision.
