If you're checking email at the table or eating lunch at your desk, then yes.
Most of us are eating with our eyes glued to a TV, smartphone or tablet, and paying little attention to what we’re putting in our mouths, according to a new OnePoll survey of 2,000 American adults.
But the No. 1 reason people said that they couldn’t tear themselves away from their smartphones at the table was because 50% of them were reading or sending emails, with more than one in three saying they were focused on work-related activities while it was time to eat. And these compulsive screen habits overlap; 48% of users also said they were checking social media sites like Facebook FB, -1.93% and Twitter TWTR, -1.
So why is this all so worrisome for your waistline? Research has shown that distracted diners often consume more calories or overeat compared to those who are more present with what’s on their plates. People who scrolled through their phones while they ate scarfed down 15% more calories than when they noshed with no distractions, according to a recent study published in the journal Physiology and Behavior.
