  • The research examines the daily food intake, meal frequency, and nutritional content of the diets of employed women, analyzing the impact of work-related stress, time constraints, and socioeconomic factors on their dietary habits. Present study is carried out in Durgapur city of West Bengal. A total of 1137 households have been surveyed through random sampling method. The findings reveal that working women in Durgapur often face challenges in maintaining a balanced diet due to busy schedules and limited access to nutritious food options, leading to an increased reliance on convenience foods that are low in essential nutrients. By highlighting the dietary gaps and health impacts among working women, this research offers insights into effective interventions that could support healthier dietary practices within this demographic in urban India.
