We have all been there. I find it hard to get away from my computer so I would say I eat while working a lot of the time.

It depends on what my schedule for the day is. If I have a lot of meetings I will eat at my desk and work through lunch to catch up on my projects and prepare for the next meeting.

I try to make it a point to have lunch and socialize with my co-workers away from the office to get refreshed.
Good one Drake.

Sante -

Given that my productivity dips late in the day, when at the office I prefer to have a working lunch to be able to head out a little early. I also find that's a good time to get caught up on administrative stuff like processing e-mail.

If I'm working from home, then I definitely step away from my computer as I usually make my lunch and I will avoid bringing my laptop with me into the kitchen!

Nice to beat the traffic Kiron if you can get out early.

I eat at my desk almost all the time. People know that no matter how busy I am, I can be found at my desk at lunchtime, either via chat, phone, or in person.
Me too John.

Always eat at my desk though I would suggest a can of pressurized air to get all those crumbs out!
Larry, do you use dry ice spray, with the thin extended nozzle? That always works well.

Most of the time I go out for lunch. It is good to have a breath of fresh air and eat peacefully.
I guess it helps clear the mind too Rami.

Most of the time I eat behind my desk and then I go out for short walk.

I always go out for lunch at least for 15-20 min. Sometime I may busy but somehow find some time to go out for Lunch. It will give refresh to your mind as well as for your body and is good to have a breath of fresh air while eating. Once you back after lunch you have refresh mind that help you to continue your work more energetically.
