There's a warning you really should listen to. Keeping any snack food close to a PCor console is a sure fire route to weight gain!

Snack foods and gaming just aren't a good combination, if you get too wrapped up in a game it's easy to polish off a whole tube of Pringles, or bag of sweets. Where do all the crumbs go? Inside the casing of the controller or console? If you're on the PC much, turn you keyboard upside down to see just what falls out. Not good?

Especially avoid messy foods and gaming. Orange Wotsit dust is not only unsightly on your joypad, but also rather greasy, severely reducing your control over your stick.

Hot food more often than not gets left to go cold if you gat caught up in a game, so avoid that too.

The best solution. When you get hungry, switch off!

So food and gaming, does it mix?

Meka my man... your obviously not getting the four main action groups...

gaming... food... beer... sex...

Mix'n'match... and in whatever order suits you best... as long as your keeping yourself busy with one of the above, you cant be going too wrong? :)
