What's Your Snack?

On 08/22/2017 at 08:33 PM by KnightDriver

I've been trying to eat healthier, but it is required matterial to have some snacks on hand during long gaming sessions. Pictured below are my go to snacks for gameday.

I've gotten away from the chips and pretzels I used to eat. I tried vegies, but that didn't last very long. Then I got popcorn and stayed with that. I used to drink a lot of caffeinated drinks too like coffee and soda. I've cut that back but not all the way. Flavored seltzer water just doesn't cut it. But diet Dr. Pepper seems to be ok for me. I know it's caffeinated but it doesn't seem to bother me physically like other diet sodas with caffeine. I don't know why that is.

So what are your snacks for game day?

Autophagy. I usually play until I get hungry, and then I have a meal, and then I go back to playing.

Something about gaming makes me want to snack on something. Thanks for the vocab. I learned something new today.

I just don't like getting my keyboard/mouse, or controllers with food on them haha. I keep the snacks for Netflix/Youtube.

I always drop my controller because I put it on my leg to reach for another gulp of diet Dr. Pepper. Those controllers be slippery devils.

I'm lucky that I actually like water and carrots. But the meals I eat are still garbage. I went a few hundred calories over my limit on myfitnesspal today from some pizza and a raising cane's meal.

I definitely over did it with pizza today. So good though.

I don't really eat snacks while I play games. I don't want to get spilled drinks and crumbs on my controllers and games and such.

Popcorn goes everywhere when I'm gaming. I don't know how they miss my mouth. It must be a special property of popcorn.

I don't snack when I game either, but I snack when I'm NOT gaming, that's for sure. I really like Doritos. No mountain dew for me though!

I don't snack at all outside of gaming. And chips. Oo, I used to love them Doritos. I can't touch them now though.

I'm not really much of a snacker. If I really get into something then I usually just forget to eat lol

I get hungrier when I play. I need a third hand.

I hear you on trying to eat healthier. I still eat a lot of crap.

My preferred snacks change. One day it might be peanut butter M&Ms or Reese's Pieces. One day it might be Nutter Butters. One day it might be Ruffles with jalapeno cheese dip. My beverage of choice is either Coke or Dr. Pepper. I don't snack often while gaming. I'll usually get something to eat for an actual meal and then go back to playing when I'm done.

I need to stop eating so much crap. :)

I'm actually afraid of those foods now.

Back before I got an allergy I was all about the seeds and nuts. Now I really don't eat when I'm playing games. For drinks I go with either a ginger ale, or I fill up my Hydroflask with water and ice.
