OT at the office leaving you stressed? Burning the midnight oil, as they say? Women, you may be even more affected by long work hours than men, a British study shows.

Researchers studied 193 men and 229 women who were, on average, about 40 years old. Participants completed surveys about their work environment, personality, height, weight, food intake and other demographic information.

Women who worked longer hours tended to eat more high-fat/high-sugar snacks and caffeine, were more likely to smoke, and got little exercise. None of those patterns were seen in men.

You don't want to wreck your calorie budget every time your workday goes a little haywire. Fruit, low-fat yogurt, or a bit of natural-style peanut butter on lower-fat, higher-fiber crackers are good workplace alternatives to fatty, sugary fare. Try to walk or bike to work - a brisk walk will relieve stress and keep you fit.
