what do you eat while gaming

[saio]

in my youth i spent so much time gaming that it became necessary to prepare my meals beforehand my mother being overwhelmed by the demands of my five siblings and thus didn't notice (or didn't care) when one of them went missing for several hours at a time
don't get me wrong i can imagine how hard it is to take care of six kids
back on subject
i often chose Japanese meals such as homemade rice and meat and Raman
tho as i got older i came to the understanding that it was impractical to spend 30 min- 1 hour making a snack that would only last about ten minutes. it was at this point that i started research on the fabled junkfood
i tried everything from buddy bars to dried yams. alas i could never find the perfect snack food
then one day i woke up at 6 am (a first for me) and i snuk into the kitchen looking for something to ease the pain in my stomach which had been caused by the previous days junk food sampling,
then the most extraordinary thing happened i tripped. (if you knew me you would know that i don't trip easily) i picked myself up preparing to go on a head hunt for whichever of my siblings had left one their
toys/projects on the ground
and then i saw that it wasn't in fact a toy or a project, it was a bag of davids sunflower seeds. being hungry. half awake and in pain. i swiped them off the floor and returned to my room.
i soon learned that this was the perfect snack (to me anyway)
they could last for hours at a time
and they came in different flavors


anyway sorry about the long story
please tell me please tell me what good snackfoods you've discovered

I dont really eat when gaming,
actually I dont even game ... but when I eat, nothing beats this pizza I found in tesco, the cheapest one, but most definitely the nicest.. its a holy grail... must have addictive stuff in it or something,

Oh, and how do you eat when gaming?, just take breaks or can ya play with one hand?
I'd be able to with final fantasy because alot of the time im just pressing x to level up..

with sunflower seeds tis easy
one handfull can last anywhere between ten and twenty minutes depending on the size of the handfull (and your mouth )

Still the same thing I ate when I was first playing games at 4, crap that will rot your teeth but you can't stop because it tastes so good.

Chocolate, soda, PB sandwiches (sometimes with jelly, sometimes with honey). If I have the groceries, I'll make a good lunch.

[Mystyrion]

I don't eat and game.
I'd rather just take a break and go eat something and come back to play.
Especially when playing halo or any fast pacing game. You don't have time to eat unless its between games, by then its soggy or cold

[Michael Swayne]

I live by myself, so I will usually eat and play at the same time. And I won't make something elaborate since it is just me that's hungry. Let's see, some things recently are...

Pizza
Microwave burritos
Tamales
Lunch meat sandwiches
Hot dogs
Cereal
Oatmeal
Chips
Meatball subs
Popcorn

and because of the upcoming holiday...

Easter Candy

As it gets warmer out, my gaming food will veer away from baked items to microwave foods or cold food. And the best time to eat is definitely during cutscenes of RPGs. For a challenge, I sometimes grab a bite during a straightaway in a racing game. And literally one bite. It took me nearly an hour to eat a salad while gaming once. My own fault though, because I set the NASCAR for 100% of its laps.

i commend your healthy attitude

[Xanatos]

No junk food for me. If I'm indeed hungry I'll pause my game and dine properly, drinks however are another story. I usually make meself a mint tea, on warmer days any drink will suffice, as long as it's a cold one.

I dont eat while gaming unless im using utensils because I hate my controller/handheld to get all filthy from food im been eating with my hands. Otherwise I would eat a bowl of fruit usually, of course we are talking about snacks here since nothing should get in the way of one of your main meals. I just snack on fruit so that would be sliced up apple, pear, nectarine, peach, grapes and maybe mandarin when they are in season.

^This. But really if I do eat while playing a video game,it's usually Ramen.

No, I did too. Stroganoff is too fancy!

In reality though I pretty much each the same as what I would normally eat if I wasn't playing a game, the only thing that changes is I eat less if I'm really engrossed in the game because I'm too lazy to go and get something.

[Alpha]

A cup of tea (if it's cold), a glass of water/orange juice (if it's warm).

Eating while sedentary will just make you fat.

Although I eat when I study, because it makes me really hungry. If it's not an actual meal, then maybe some nuts or some biscuits. Yesterday I steamed some broccoli and cauliflower for a study snack

[Phoenix Rising]

I don't typically eat while gaming, but I have had ramen while playing StarCraft on a few occasions in the past.

[Catalana]

Always chocolate ... or chocolate bar <3





but not always ... sometimes

[Jecht]

Air XD. and not kidding. i'm not of those eat all the time lol XD
just well... at the hour are for that (3 time at day nothing more else)

[Diyala]

I can't tell you about the time I ate while I was playing . It never happened because I usually play after having a good meal so I'm free to play , but In case I took a long time playing and my stomach is hungry again I take a break , besides I don't think eating is good with horror survival games (my favorite) , it spoils the atmosphere !

[Deicide]

Don't tend to eat while gaming, but I do drink coffee. Been kind of a thing for me since I was pretty young. I used to brew some up whenever I was starting a session of Starcraft and it just carried over.
Might snack on things that go with the coffee (bagels are a bit of a favorite new thing for me right now, yum!) but, honestly? I don't really get hungry when I'm gaming anyway.

..Now I have to go make coffee. Bugger.

[magewarrior]

Sometimes I forget the snacks are even there in the first place probably because I'm too preoccupied with the game. But typically a bowl of chips (preferably Doritos) and a small 750ml bottle of Dr Pepper would do just fine while gaming

[Martin]

For my entrée I'd have Cracker a la Ritz, with a side of your finest Philadelphia full-fat. I require a main of foie gras, with spinach and feta ravioli and a side salad, balsamic vinegar and pesto dressing. My dessert shall be a chocolate ganache, with a butterscotch and vanilla creme. I will be paying by American Express, will this suffice?

Or a packet of Doritos. I'm not fussy.
