As well as, the main objective is to determine the influence of work stress in a sample of 39 workers. The conducting research is descriptive and correlative non-experimental type. For data collection, a structured survey was applied with questions related to stress, anxiety and eating habits. Once the data was collected, it was statistically systematized by means of the SPSS software for analysis and interpretation. Research results show that most workers have moderate stress, low anxiety level, and according to the food pyramid of the Spanish Society for Community Nutrition (SENC) most the survey respondents have poor eating habits, which could be related to the fact that most of them are also overweight and obese. On the other hand, this study was able to determine, based on Pearson's correlation and a 95% confidence level, that there is no relationship between stress and eating habits of the survey respondents.
