Tell him healthy employees take less sick days.

Just waiting to get talked to again. I had to move my desk for him to keep a better eye on me. That wasted 4 hours of my day. I could have been eating, damnit.

I know I am going to get flamed, but maybe your boss has a good reason for this. Is your desk out in the open where people such as co workers or worst of all customers can see what you are doing? It may not present a good image, just as if you propped your feet up on your desk or took a nap there where everone could see. I'm just asking.

Maybe the solution is to take your food and go to the lunchroom or cafeteria and eat it there. I'm sure your boss will let you take 5 minutes to do that if you explain why you have to eat something every 2 or 3 hours.

I am lucky in that my office has a door, so I close it when I pull out my tuna in tupperware or whatever.

and scarfing down donughts is a better image then eating a bag of broccoli? I don't think that's the case since he's said that everyone else eats donughts/chips/bars at their desks. People will never except us helth freaks, there too jealous

throw a tin of tuna at him

Remember, we are talking about the "image" presented to the "general" (unhealthy and uninformed) public. It may appear to look "normal" to "snack" on a candy bar at the desk ( no one says anything to me if I eat a protein bar at my desk), but eating broccoli, chicken or tuna out of tupperware may "look" too much like eating a meal and that does not look good.

I am by no means saying that all of this is "right", just offering a possible solution that works for both people. Regardless of whether the boss is "jealous" or not, he is the boss and if he says you can't do something, you either don't do it or find another job.

I have been eating as usual and I think he may have realized I am not eating as much as he though that that I also work during my lunch.
