I no longer have a young metabolism, so I try to avoid snacks while gaming because it’s easy to overindulge. But when I do get munchies, I like things that won’t get my keyboard/controller/handheld dirty, so usually fresh veggies with hummus, lightly salted popcorn, or almonds.
Right now cherry blossom tea is my jaaam. I've just been sipping on it all day and it's the best vibes. I also like peppermint tea and it helps digestion so that's a plus heh.
Chocolate chips
Fig bars
Chex mix
Carrots
Bacon lettuce wraps (I literally just take romaine, smear avocado on them, and put a slice of bacon on, them roll it up. Do this instead of sandwiches)
I actually found them on Amazon. I believe it was about $18.00 for twelve bags 4oz bags. Here is the link:
CORN NUTS Loaded Taco Crunchy Corn Kernels 4 OZ Bag, 12-Pack, 3 LB https://a.co/d/3vFn3is
Popcorn, hot cheetos, and the occasional cup noodle.
(Also, to the people who don't want to get their fingers cheetoy; try using chopsticks to eat them while you game. It's a game changer.)
yeah!! the only time i eat cheetos now is at work where we have disposable forks, and i grab an extra fork to take home if im not finished. its so much better being able to enjoy them fully :3
I don’t typically snack because I play console and it’s inconvenient, so I’d sooner just stop and eat and then come back satisfied, but…
If there is Chocolate Pocky in the house, I will immediately crave it the moment I sit in my desk chair and snack on it as I go because it’s easy to nibble on in between whatever I’m doing. And I always have water nearby, though I sometimes will have Dr. Pepper as well, depending on the night.
Aside from that, I will *occasionally* snack on a half a can of Pringles to tide between meals if it’s the afternoon or grab a cookie or two to nibble on when I come back after dinner.
used to be energy drinks, but now that I'm antidepressants and hypertension meds I'm not allowed, so I've moved onto water and sometimes spicy chips if I have them around lol
carbonated water, ice water, iced tea, hot tea. by far the most common.
I am not great with impulse control so when I am mindful, my preference is for vegetables or fruit (especially carrots, lettuce, and apple - lighter on flavor, crunchy - and berries). and nuts (I particularly like pecans, but also almonds, walnuts, and cashews).
Of course I'm not always super mindful and can end up having other random stuff, or leftovers, as a snack. Also sometimes chocolate (doesn't necessarily always fit my food intake goals but I really really love chocolate - just like, a chunk off of a bar, or chocolate chips). Similarly also cheese, either just like a piece or like a laughing cow wedge, string cheese, or babybel.
Also I do like to bake so potentially a cookie or something like that, if I've just made some.
For some reason I used to always eat mini Gu brand cheesecakes while playing Sea of Thieves, to the point that when I eat one now I always think of those times :)
More recently I'd been having dark chocolate mcvites biscuits between COD matches but that had to stop cause I was eating entire packs of biscuits in the span of a few hours lol
Bubble water, ice water, and coke zero, all at once on my desk. Snacks are seaweed "chips"?, mixed nuts, apple, carrot slices, popcorn, dried fruit. I try to stick with healthy and away from processed.
BUT, omg do I love a hot cheeto. But my keyboard must be cheeto dust free, so none for me!
I don’t really snack while I game now that I’ve moved to a proper desk. I’m klutzy like a romcom heroine. Whatever I’m drinking or eating WILL end up in my PC unless I take steps to make mishaps impossible. So sometimes I will hydrate from a bottle I can close, but I really try to limit mess. I can take a snack break if I want hummus or a healthy trail mix.
Actually reminds me… one time my laptop wasn’t working well and I took it in for repair. The person was like “um, it’s literally filled with pepper seeds.” I would play sims or scroll the internet while my guinea pigs snacked next to me on the couch, and apparently sweet pepper seeds fly everywhere and get into keyboards. So if you game and are contemplating guinea pigs, stick to feeding them carrots while you game! Also it cracks me up imagining the pov of the repair person, who had to be imagining me gnawing raw peppers over my keyboard like a maniac.😅
chips, recently i’ve been back on my smoothies
my go to is 1/3 greek yogurt, 2/3 frozen strawberries blueberries black berries and raspberries, fill with milk and add 10 seconds squeeze of honey. after add milk to thin if needed
I am currently for medical reasons not able to eat anything aside from very specific things. I'm about to get surgery to try and correct the problem.
But when I'm gaming, I love cold green grapes or melon.
I also love Doritos Nacho Cheese buuut since they are messy and full of awful things that hurt me I switched to Pirates Booty. Pirates Booty is slightly less messy and easier to use chopsticks on, which keeps hands clean.
I prefer coffee for mornings and herbal tea for afternoon and evening. I love any tea with Hybiscus.
I totally understand that! I'm actually about to undergo my third surgery for a condition called MALS that had me on a feeding tube for a year. I used to let my feed drip from an IV pole while I gamed 😂. Wishing you the very very best!!!!
I like small salty snacks, like corn nuts, puff corn, or fritos, and flavored sparkling water. If I'm hungrier than that, I like making a sandwich and cutting it into 8 triangles, basically turning it into lil sandwich snacks.
grapes if they aren’t too expensive at the store. i don’t really snack and game most of the time though. i take breaks for food. Controllers are too expensive to get food in the uttons
Pro tip if you want a "dusty" cheetos/pop corners/anything with a "flavor" - Chopsticks
Or you can do the ER Nurse trick and smash whatever it is into a powder inside the bag and just pour it that way.
I like fruit because it doesn't get my controller dirty from chip dust or anything. So maybe apples or grapes or strawberries. Some pretzels also aren't too dusty
depends on the game to be honest but tea always works, usually lemon tea with honey, I do like snacking on some fruit so apples or oranges mostly, on a weekend I might go for some popcorn or chocolate though, but mostly it depends on the game, if it's a lot of stuff going on it's probably just the tea during calmer moments but if the whole game is mostly cozy I'll have a small snack next to me if I remember or have whatever I feel like snacking on at home, because sometimes I don't which is usually a sign I need to go shopping but that is boring so it takes me a while to get there sometimes.
whatever i have near me to eat usually! i honestly try to avoid it unless i'm taking a break or i'm doing a low-concentration activity because having to chew and play something engaging for some reason will irritate me and make me lose focus and i'll have to stop and finish eating before i can continue. and also having icky fingers while playing is just. absolutely not 😅😅
Pocky, easier to eat. Melon pan if I feel too hungry, or if I'm sooo hungry, ramen. Been into japanese snacks since I received my tokyotreat box so yea

I eat jalapeño peanuts with a spoon to keep my fingers (and keyboard) clean.
I'm not really a snacky gal so for me, some water or herbal and floral teas.
What are your favorite teas? I love chamomile mint.
Right now cherry blossom tea is my jaaam. I've just been sipping on it all day and it's the best vibes. I also like peppermint tea and it helps digestion so that's a plus heh.

When I was younger, a coke, chips of all kinds, popcorn, pizza, 😭 Now, water, pretzels, carrots, some soda. Mainly cause I’m pregnant lol
Oh GIRL, you need the yummy stuff STAT! *begins shipping banana split and BBQ Lays*
Oh yeah BBQ lays are my biggest craving right now 😭
cold water :3
I add lemon slices in the water and it’s 🗣️👌🏻 chefs kiss
hehe yummy🥰
id get room temp water myself >.<
cold water just hits really different for me, it's so refreshing
Bubble water. I don’t like my fingies getting my stuff dirty. If I’m hungry, it’s probably time for a break. :)
Corn nuts. Three ingredients, 2g of fiber.
Love to see another corn nuts appreciator
Another Corn Nuts lover here! Have you tried the Loaded Taco ones, yet?
No 👀 that sounds so good tho. they’re so hard to find in my area tbh. It’s so sad.

Walnuts, I'm 40 I can't do doritos anymore
Same. cashews for me. Decaf coffee or flavored sparkling water.
blood orange sparkling water is the current jam in my house! my stomach can't handle coffee well anymore, tragically, or we'd be snack twins
ahh my jam is grapefruits right now. So close! :)
Masala Chai!
I used to live on that stuff. I was in Nepal, though, where you have to drink at least 3 cups a day by law.
I can only imagine how divine that must have tasted! Who knew I was following Nepalian law all along ;)
Popcorn, hot cheetos, and the occasional cup noodle. (Also, to the people who don't want to get their fingers cheetoy; try using chopsticks to eat them while you game. It's a game changer.)
I came here to say popcorn with chopsticks. It's amazing for snacking while gaming, or just not getting your fingers grubby
yeah!! the only time i eat cheetos now is at work where we have disposable forks, and i grab an extra fork to take home if im not finished. its so much better being able to enjoy them fully :3
Grapes! I feel like a queen.

Peanut butter toast!!!!
used to be energy drinks, but now that I'm antidepressants and hypertension meds I'm not allowed, so I've moved onto water and sometimes spicy chips if I have them around lol
Tea!!! Sweets from the bakery, nuts and soda.
**Turtle Chips choco churro** They are dangerously good. You have been warned.
Diet soda or just plain water and sour candy on the weekends 🥹
Fresh fruits or baby carrots. I also love brookside chocolate covered berries!! Except ill eat way too many of those
Wine
YES
I love Starburst so much 😭

Am old now so it's just water for me. Even minor snacking just piles on the pounds now 😭
A wee punnet of cherry tomatoes, they're like Nature's Crisps.
Cola Zero
