NO

most of the time I only eat at breaks so as not to distract my attention from the dynamics of the game.

Not that I like it, but I don't see anything wrong with it. What I like is to make myself a cup of coffee with milk on the break at the end of the hour.

Usually when I play I try to focus on the game Food is distracting, but sometimes I eat while I play.

Yes I do but I don’t play while I’m in a hand. It’s too messy

I like to eat, drink, it takes away my anxiety about tournaments, a good aperitif always comes in handy:D

Never. While eating I can't focus my attention to the game.

Snacks

I like to focus when I play. I will bring healthy snacks to a tournament and eat quickly on the breaks. Examples are sardines, nuts, and protein bars.

Eating while playing

Personally, I love it, especially if they are sweet ...


I use to love it until I gain tons of weight. I went from 140 to 200 pounds from eating and playing games or card games. I was so chubby and I stopped that for a long time now. I begin to workout more while playing game and stop eating while playing. I lost all my weight that I gain and will continue to not eat while playing game.

Of course, in some tournaments it's always good to eat something, and sweets are always a good choice.

I usually eat a couple of hours before a tournament. During the game, I prefer to drink black coffee with salty biscuits or dark chocolate. It is said to help focus attention and improve brain activity.

I rather try to avoid eating while playing. Occasionally some energy drink mixed with cocoa wafers, but no hard-to-digest food.

Most time not because if i eat what i want you could roll me away, so better small food stops and then it's okay.

I personally don't play well on a empty stomach therefore I'm usually munching at the table

For me, the game is not a hindrance to food :)
Sometimes (especially important for MTT fans) the duration of a game session is longer than expected, and you have to be distracted by cooking (although experience comes with time, I suspect that most experienced MTT players have food ready before the start of the game session. whether they need it or not).

Fruit snacks when on a break during games keeps energy levels up - especially bananas for me personally.
Eating during poker has been shown to be a positive thing when needed, however as we all know, over eating or consuming a large meal can lead to early onset of tiredness as the body refuels and heads for hibernation lol

I don’t have time to make actual food while playing so I tend to graze on the smaller stuff like granola bars, fruit anything quick and easy
