There are many perceptions around women being calorie conscious and their eating patterns driven by moods. Same goes for men who are considered to be heavy eaters or not much conscious of what they eat. ‘STTEM – Safety, Technology, Taste, Ease & Mood Uplifter’ - The India Snacking Report (Volume I) by Godrej Yummiez, a brand of ready-to-cook products, highlights that 76% women snack more than once a day while 74% men agree do the same. This indicates a relatively 2% higher count of women snacking more than men. The report attempts to bring out such interesting insights about attitudes & perceptions of people when it comes to snacks & snacking.

Snacking is viewed as a mood uplifter by both genders, thereby highlighting the correlation of emotions to snacking. Throwing light on the food-mood connection of genders, the Godrej Yummiez report reveals that 74% women snack more when they are happy, i.e. 4% more as compared to men (70%) and 60% women snack more when they are sad, i.e. 8% more as compared to men (52%)
