Perhaps alongside a tasty alcoholic beverage or a refreshing juice drink, many dedicated gamers tuck into a whole host of snacks during their gaming sessions. Some foods are more suitable for gaming than others, though.
After all, greasy grub or any messy dishes aren’t ideal when you’re trying to take down a friend online or smash through a challenging quest. As such, foods for gaming need to be simple to eat, straightforward to prepare, and obviously wholly satisfying given the gaming-related progress you’re hoping to make. There are so many options to consider here, but there are some clear favorites among diehard gamers.
So, whether you’re a hungry player looking to elevate your snack game or you’re hosting a gaming event with your nearest and dearest in attendance, below are some suitable foods to eat while you smash through your favorite games.
French fries
First and foremost, it only feels right to start with French fries. These crispy potato-filled friends are up there with the very best of them, enabling gamers to grab a few fries in between the levels and dip into their favorite condiments to add even more flavor. Fries are also easy to make; they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can fill you up in minutes.
Trail mix
Following on from fries, it only feels right to add a healthier inclusion to the list. In fact, you’ll notice some more nutritious options are coming. After all, a balance needs to be struck up here, right? Alongside your fries, you can add a more nutritious snack to proceedings, with a trail mix containing dried fruits, an array of nuts, and even strong doses of honey, all of which give you everything you need to reign supreme.
Pizza
There aren’t many more satisfying things in this world than a delicious slice of pizza. A great option if you’re hosting people, you can chuck a few pizzas in the oven or order your favorite local delight and demolish slices with ease. Whether your preference is a deep pan slice or a more authentic Italian pizza, this snap-and-crunch snack is perfect for gaming.
Chicken nuggets
Chicken nuggets generally shouldn’t be swimming in grease, making them a suitable food to eat while gaming. Regarded by many gamers as the ultimate gaming snack, they’re easy to prepare; you can throw in some of your favorite sauces alongside them on a plate and leave them in the corner to be devoured as and when it suits.
Granola bars
What you put into your body is what you get out of it. As such, whether you’re playing puzzle titles like Candy Crush Saga or you’re exploring leading Pulsz games like Mysterious, a granola bar is capable of giving you the energy you need to be at your very best. They’re also easy to consume, they’re filling, and they contain a number of healthy ingredients like oats, nuts, and seeds, many of which will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Carrots
Either dipped in some hummus or enjoyed on their own, carrots are a tasty and nutritious snack to munch on during your gaming sessions. Carrots can also be eaten at any time of the day, they don’t need to be hot, and they go with so many dips people tend to enjoy.
Chocolate
Finally, we recommend chocolate. Of course, as we’ve already mentioned, your body does deserve some of the good stuff, but you can still treat yourself every now and then. That’s where chocolate is a delectable option, giving you the energy boost you need while satisfying your tastebuds along the way.
