I agree with you, I try to eat enough before I start playing. What if I do while playing is drink a lot of water

I can't start playing hungry. And then I like to nibble on salted nuts during the game - it calms me down ;)

I like to eat before I play and sometimes I eat while I play, it doesn't bother me at all to have meals, but I understand that there are players who can't eat while playing.

I don't know about you but, I can't eat before or while I'm playing it makes me uncomfortable.
from what I've read it's a bad idea not to. Thoughts?
If I'm hungry I eat If I play I coordinate eating and playing.

The ideal thing in poker is not to have to think about food and water, you have to control your food by eating protein to stay focused on the game and not think about finishing all at once or immediately.

I try to eat about an hour before tournaments start. In the early stages of tournaments, this is a bit of a hindrance, but by the final stages I usually come up in the optimal state - hungry and angry.:)

You can certainly find some foods that help your brain to be ready for war at the tables. Google is always your friend. I guess there is a thread at cardschat too.

I have no problem eating or drinking while playing poker. I'm too focused on my game so I don't have any kind of problem.

Normally I eat while I'm playing. Tournaments often take several hours and eating is not something that distracts me.

I can't play when I'm hungry, so I always eat before I start playing and if I'm hungry during a session, I'll get a stack in the meantime until I finish, but it's for everyone,

I think that many players eat before and during the game and after the game and during the break, I, in turn, drink water or drinks, but I don’t eat

To my great regret, I seize stress after the session)))))

Some power options are indicated so that the brain can work at full steam. Eggs produce acetylcholine, responsible for improving memory and learning, in addition to being a source of B complex vitamins. Orange and passion fruit are fruits that prevent tiredness and help fight stress. Almonds have a large dose of vitamin E, a substance that fights the effects of aging in the brain.

If I know that a long poker session awaits me, then I will definitely eat before the game and sometimes I will prepare a salad or a sandwich for a snack.

I spend a lot of time playing, sometimes I have to eat while playing, I prefer to drink coffee to curb hunger and avoid drowsiness while playing

I never thought about eating or not eating before a poker session or while playing one .
I eat when I'm hungry , I eat also during the poker session .
