Today’s Food Habits and their Impact on Practicing Civil Engineers in India – an Overview

Abstract: Civil engineers (CEs) are instrumental in shaping the built environment, often managing demanding schedules and physically intensive fieldwork. In India, the dietary habits of practicing CEs offer insights into how professional stress, lifestyle demands, and cultural factors influence daily nutrition. This study provides an overview of prevailing food consumption patterns among CEs in India and their impact, examining aspects such as meal frequency, dietary choices, meal timing, and typical dining locations. The analysis is further supported by observed trends and preferences identified through a structured sample survey.
