It totally depends on context. My office doesn't have a gym, but there's one next door and we reimburse its membership fee. Colleagues seem to find it easier to go regularly during the workday, rather early in the morning or after work. I think it's fantastic that this kind of "break" is allowed and encouraged. In this city of dysfunctional transportation, saving you a "second commute" to the gym is a valuable service.
Food? A nice lunch that I don't have to think about beats packing PB&J or throwing away money on restaurant meals.
Dinner is provided very late, and is by no means an expectation, more of a courtesy to employees working late for other reasons. It makes sparse use of one cafeteria, where lunch overflows ~5.
Most engineers in my immediate area are solidly 10am-6pm unless something comes up. (Several have hour-plus BART rides to their families deep in the East Bay).
