Do you tend to eat 'more' junk food while gaming ?.

I don't realise I'm doing it though. I bring the biscuit barrel through to have a munch but end up finishing the contents :blush:. Last Sat night was real bad though. I managed to eat 8 bags of crisps and 4 packs of biscuits :o no wonder the wife goes off on one when she fancies a biscuit with her cuppa and there's none left. I must be that engrossed in my gaming I don't realise how much iv'e eaten lol

    Probably less. If I get into a good gaming session, I can sit for hours without thinking about food or drink

    No. I tend to eat when I'm bored. If a game is entertaining enough to keep me distracted, then I won't eat food unnecessarily.

    This.

    Sometimes I only realise I need sustenance when I hear my stomach rumbling.

    Less. Sometimes I forget to eat lunch if I'm really into a gaming session.

    No. Oily controllers/keyboards and mice = the worst.

    This and especially when I'm using my DFGT wheel, I'm not getting any greese (from food) on that!

    I will sometimes but it's mainly sweets and with the containers of sweets now coming into the supermarkets for £5 on the build up to Christmas, Roses, Quality Streets, Hero's I can see it getting worse :D

    I tend to have a packet of toffess or sweets at my side whilst gaming.
    @op go to Farmfoods if one is near you and get a box of biscuits for £2.49 :p

    I forget to eat for ages. I did get concerned during my World of Warcraft days I would be found dead at the keyboard!

    Nope.

    I sometimes use gaming to take my mind off food and control how much I'm eating. Boredom sends me straight to the biscuit cupboard.

    I do tend to drink more alcohol though. Which is (at best) counterproductive. Especially in the mornings.

    A few mints here and there and some drinks. I don't like greasy or sweaty controllers either.

    I don't eat *anything* while gaming.

    I stuff my face if I'm watching TV or a film, though...

    Jesus, man, you do realise that eating all that worthless junk is directly slowly but surely killing you?

    I usually forget to eat anything when gaming, more often than not I have realised dinner or tea has gone by and I haven't had anything.
