 Like just about everyone these days, I struggle with wanting to eat too much of the wrong things. Do you eat while playing games? If so, what? How often? Does gaming tend to stimulate wanting to eat? I find that gaming related eating isn't as bad as while watching TV or reading.Especially action/RPG games that require quick responses that keep hands busy.Once in a while, I will munch while playing a point-and-click adventure. They're much more easy to play while reaching for the chips or crackers.I like to drink a diet soda or coffee while playing. I did discover once that M&Ms were very easy to eat while playing any kind of game, so had to break that habit quickly!

Can't say I eat more while playing, but I do grab a bite once in a while. Now coffee is a whole other matter. It goes down in pots, lol And if I remember to have sodas in the house, that too.

Coffee and lots of it  Snacks are great too as long as they don't spill crumbs on the keyboard.

I do not eat while I play, but I do drink.

The desk where my PC lives is on the third floor (US style) of my house, but the kitchen is on the first, so food and drink rarely make it to my desk. I do keep a tin of Altoids next to my PC, but the tin will last for weeks. I find this is a pretty good way to avoid snacking. Cooking dinner, on the other hand, gives me way too many opportunities to grab snacks when I should be concentrating on other things.

I am a smoker and I noticed that I smoke many more cigarettes while playing games. Horrible This happens to mee too, but not all the time. Often I find I forget totally about smoking, lol.
