Only in some parts of Europe

For me it really depends on WHAT I've had for lunch, most foods don't

create any problems.

Many Western European(Italy, Spain, France) countries eat their biggest meal of the day for lunch and then take a few hours after that before retuning to work(in general). They do often work later than our schedule. Their eveing meals are generally later than ours and lighter meals.
