So I thought I’d take the time to learn more about my mysterious and oh-so-cool readers. And I have a question for you: what do you eat when you play video games?
Do you forgo food in the name of conquering digital universes until you collapse? Do you eat and drink a stereotypical mix of “gamer fuel” and Doritos? Set the record straight, and I hope, break the stereotypes.
I gravitate towards sweet foods, like something with chocolate, and maybe some tea. Those are my favorite comfort foods and I tend to eat them when I’m relaxing, like when I’m playing video games. 🙂

Sounds like a good combination. Also, sorry about how long it took me to respond. I’m keeping busy, and for some reason, WordPress did not approve your comment even though I had set your comments to appear automatically.

I usually drink a flavored seltzer these days and snack on popcorn. Though my most common day of gaming is Yom Kippur. They really help me ignore a full day of hunger even if the health items are all food related.

I love homemade popcorn. It’s such a versatile snack: there’s so many toppings you can add. Good choice.

It isn’t very filling either. Though I just put some salt in it.

I like cheese sometimes as a topping or garlic and chilies… This is going to turn into a food blog if I’m not careful lol.

Food and video games go together so well. So many games have food as healing items too.

It’ll be something more substantial about video games and food. It seems like people do like the topic, so I’ll have to return to it sometime.

Although I am a fatso, I don’t tend to snack whilst gaming as I need mu hands free. Hmmm perhaps if I increase my gaming time I can lose weight?

I drink fizzy water and my Saturday gaming is accompanied by pizza, aside from that I generally don’t eat very much while gaming, I’m usually too into the game. 🙂

I know what you mean about being too into the game to eat. I was expecting someone to say that. Also, I don’t want to drop food on myself because I’d be too into the game to notice/ care haha.

Nothing worse than looking down and realising you’re covered in crisps! Haha.

I generally stay away from food while gaming (too much to think about, eating and gaming at the same time!), though I have managed the occasional light snack that’s not messy/greasy — popcorn, mixed nuts, apple slices. The one thing I’m okay with during gaming is coffee. Then again, I’m okay with coffee any day, all the time.

Yep, you and I are pretty close on food while playing. I’m okay with coffee all the time too, but curiously enough, I find I never need it while playing. Games usually get my adrenaline going. 🙂

I usually don’t eat, but I like to have something to drink (water, pepsi Max) when I’m gaming. Very seldom I have chips and nuts and stuff like that, but that’s only when I’m gaming with friends and family.

Sounds like me. Do your habits change when you do a “marathon gaming session” (That is, if you do those kinds of marathons at all.)?

It happens, on occasional saturdays or sundays, then the food I eat is pizza and I snack on cookies and chips, together with diet soda, spread out through the day whenever the intensity gets lower.

I drink anything from Coke, orange juice, to water lol. Never eat though, and never have. I have a weird OCD problem with getting my controller dirty and stuff.

Ah, a good idea. I once heard someone describe that dirt as “controller poop.” I think it’s best to avoid that too.
