Hey Everyone,

We have all been there... playing a long tourney, and then... we get a little hungry because it's either lunch time, or dinner time...

If you play in the Online Tournaments... you only get a 5 minute break every hour... that's not enough to eat something good...

So what do you eat?

Power Bars
Sandwiches
Microwave Pizza
Hot dogs
Salad
Granola Bars
Fruit
Pop Corn

Or you could go Old School like John Malcovich and eat some ORIO Cookies ;-)

I take my laptop into the kitchen and make a sandwich or whatever. Haven't really cooked a full meal or anything, but that's usually because if I'm playing a tourney I'm by myself, so easy with minimum mess is the way to go.

Glass of water or fruit juice, a granola bar, and any leftovers in the fridge I can heat up in less than 5 mins.

I just eat anything that can be left to cook, like oven fries and chicken or something. I fold a poor hand, run through to the kitchen, put everything in the oven, and time it so its ready for the next break

I usually cook and eat before a tournament starts if I have time.

If its a late registration into the game, I usually have time between hands to pour a glass of juice or make a quick protein shake (in a shaker) if I want to fill up. Or if I'm really hungry, i just carry the laptop into the kitchen and cook.

Peanut butter and banana or PBJ's. It's about all I eat with 5 minutes or even more time. Quick and easy, keep it simple.

I always go with the popcorn. Cause for the next 55 mins you can work on getting the kernels out of the teeth.

I can't believe there's been 14 responses without the mention of hot pockets. Not sayin' I'm disappointed, just surprised.

I'll be looking for the weekly thread of recipes with color coded notes for what foods are best for MTT, Rebuys and so on. I'm sure you have system to the whole "pre-made meal" thing. Hoping green dots don't mean extra pickels but show me the money meal!
