I make as much of my own stuff as possible.  I scoff at the packets of chemical-laden "Guacomole Mix" proudly on display above the avocados - I have all the guacomole mix I'll ever need right on top of my stove.  "Smoothie Mix"?  It's all right there in the produce section, ready to wash and drop into the blender with some chocolate almond milk.  Bread with 50 ingredients?  Leave 44 of them at the door, I bake my own with no more than 6.

 

When I make wraps, I put so much spinach, tomatoes, cheese, beans, and guacamole, that there's hardly any room left for the beef or pork.

 

Salads start with a bowl of olive oil, some powdered garlic, onion, pepper, pinch of salt, organic mayo, basil and oregano, stir that all up and add spinach, tomatoes, ham, shredded cheese, bleu cheese.

 

I have a great recipe for homemade pizza sauce, which simmers on the stove for an hour while the breadmaker is busy making a batch of fresh pizza dough.  This sauce also goes great on spaghetti noodles.  If it's for spaghetti, I'll heat up a smaller pot with a ladle of noodle water, a spoonful of powdered milk, some shredded cheese, tablespoon of Earth Balance organic butter, over a low heat to make an optional cheese sauce topping.

 

Sometimes I just throw a bunch of stuff in the pot together with a potato or two and see what happens.

 

Frozen veggies are steamed with a two-pot contraption that doesn't let the veggies actually touch the water below.

 

Don't use much sugar, but when I do it's organic cane sugar and not that GMO beet sugar crap.

 

I don't eat any fast food at all.  Unless I'm on a road trip to East Coast Maryland.  I can make the trip nonstop in 6 hours, but if I ride with a buddy he stops so much it takes 9 or 10 hours.  In that case, I'll eat Subway, but only then.

 

You know ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for being a god damn robot....you surely eat really organic..... ;)

Very much agreeing with Wheeljerk. Your food sounds ideal. :)  No fastfoods or fizzy drinks eaten here, either. Oh yeah, and it's mostly Arkhne who is the cook here, except for some traditional Finnish dishes and tortillas.

I cringe at the so-called quacamole at shops, here it's also labeled as 'quacamole style'.. what the..?! Often including a whopping 0.4% avocado.

 

Allergies make me (help me?) avoid all extra chemicals, both in foods and other stuff. Luckily we have lots of local breads here with very few ingredients, like the 100% rye bread, with about 5 ingredients, no yeast or preservatives. I get lazy ab out baking bread, as I can't use wheat.. but I make mean glutenfree tortillas from scratch. Haven't bought another readymade tortilla floppyflappy since.

 

Living in the US several years ago, I remember buying a ready-sliced loaf of bread when still could eat wheat.... Ate a few slices, then forgot it in the cupboard. Found it 4 weeks later.. it still looked good and it was as soft as when I bought it! Retrospectively, felt really happy I had only had a few slices of it. Scary stuff.

 

Using all local meats & eggs from small eco farmers, or organic game meat from the north like reindeer. Growing some of our foods when possible; strawberries, raspberries, gooseberrries, red and black currants, a variety of apples, suedes, zucchini, pumpkin, cauliflower, brussels sprouts. Let's hope the pumpkin get enough sun this year, last year's crops were nonexistent. (The growing season here is very short, 3-4 months tops). And from the local forests, anyone can go and pick blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries and all kinds of mushroom, like chanterelles and porcini.

I don't eat while I mp cause that would mean I'd be chewing while talking in the headset and I wouldn't want to bother the others by doing that lol. 

 

Otherwise I eat dark bread with no butter but with cheese, fruit and vegetables etc. I rarely drink cola and juice, I'm on water for the most part and I drink lots of coffee with milk and sweeteners. I like to watch what I eat xD

You should try it some time. Imagine if antifreeze could get you drunk.

If I eat during MPing, it´s usually just a couple slices of good ol´ fashioned bread, with sumthin sumthin on it. But 99% of the time I eat in between sessions, which usually consists of whatever I´m in the mood for. No alcohol or drugs during gaming, I don´t do drugs in general and rarely if ever drink. So that leaves me with tea, coke and juices.

typically a chef's salad or southwestern style steak salad. With the latter some nacho chips or tortilla chips, chipotle sauce, chives, onions, green and red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and some oregano. Tasty.

 

Or a good old fashioned mango/banana/pear/apple/grapes/orange. Whatever fruits I have.

 

As for drinks, earl grey tea, stinging nettle tea, milk, lemonade, cranberry juice or a Powerade IONX drink. Powerade goes well with lemon juice. Just saiyan.

Such a good topic. Love me some food
My guilty pleasure would be Airhead Xteme bites and Red Bull. But sadly on a diet, now it's a Diet Coke, a tuna sandwich no mayo toasted bread and a slice of Swiss, or if I'm super lazy just a protein shake.
This winter when I lax on my diet, it's going to be heaven. Beer, Bacon Cheeseburgers, French fries, flaming hot Cheetos, 2liter of Coke or Mountain Dew, twinkies, Creme cheese Danishes, bagels loaded to the brim with Creme cheese...everything that is easily able to pick up and grab a bite here and there. I can't wait

It's already known that some gamers play drunk, or high, some are teetotallers, some run on caffeine.

Highlighted as applicable.

 

What do you eat, as a ME3 MP player, in general?

For breakfast I have a supplement called Vega One. It basically has 50% of everything you need in a day in one cup. The one thing it doesn't have any of is fat and barely any calories. I'll often have a coffee after if I'm being good, or before if I'm extra tired.

 

Trying to bring lunches to work to cut costs lately. So lunch is often last nights dinner.

 

Last nights dinner is all over the board. Burgers, hot dogs, pasta dishes (I prefer white sauces to tomato based), salads, homemade pizza on souvlaki pita, noodle/asian dishes. I just made a pork sirloin roast a couple nights ago, had pork sammich with mayo and bbq sauce for lunch with fresh lettuce/tomato. My bosses husband gets fresh produce about every two weeks. Enough that she brings us a bunch of various types of tomatoes, cucumbers, and leaf-greens. Everything from sweet grape tomatoes to arugula. So whatever I wind up with I'll incorporate in. I can cook a bit, not much, but a bit. I'm good at just throwing something together and coming out with something reasonably good. (I cooked in my last relationship.)

 

I also like just making fresh platters and eating those. Fresh bell peppers, olives, cheeses, deli meats, fruits. When I have the dough I love seafood. I live on a coast and was born to it. King crab, salmon, prawns, scallops, mussels. The only seafood I've tried and didn't like was "uni"... sea urchin. Ie, the bottom scum feeder of the ocean. It tasted not-unlike what seagull dung must taste like.

 

Best meal I've made personally would probably be a valentines meal I did. Romanesco Arugula salad and ahi ahi tuna with a lime-avocado sauce. That was nummy.

 

I love doing good breakfasts, spinach/feta omelettes, tomato/sausage/potato skillet, etc.

 

Basically give me a kitchen full of random ingredients and I'll give you good food. I rarely stick to recipes and just sorta mix and ponder as I go.

 

What do you eat or drink while gaming - or perhaps nothing?

Beer

Club soda mixed with various fruit juices

Tea

Rice Crackers

Dill Pickle potato chips

Ms VIcky's Salt n Vinegar chips

Other sundry good and bad things for me...

Also...

To cheese or not to cheese, that is the question.

...cheese every thing like a 16 yr old russian kid with dialup on an AIU that just got a Reegar and Incendiary ammo for the first time.

I try and make my own food when I can :) Im always making bread and pizzas... I also make sweet things too like cakes and cookies... one thing ive kinda made that sounds weird but works is carrot and ginger muffins... I was gonna make mini carrot cakes a few days ago but I had some ginger too so I decided to put some in (its been a long time since I stopped measuring ingredients ;)) and it totally works!

 

I occasionally eat a cookie while I play... because cookies are the happiest food in the world <3 I think pancakes are a close second ;)

 

Earlier I had a sandwich... but that was after I played ;)

Everyone talks about cooking, I can cook too.... a little bit..... a tiny little bit.... I'm not completely useless.  When I was my married, my ex husband did all the cooking, I never did much but I do know the basics and I definitely know baking, I am the best at baking cakes! Yup! I might burn food... but cakes... they're always perfect  <_<

Beer when I play. Ipa and lager in the summer and stout/porter and brown ale in the winter. Food is whatever fruit during the day and whatever awesomeness the wife made for dinner. And monster, can't forget that.

You must secretly love cake ;) dont worry im sure your cooking isnt so bad :) there are lots of good recipes and you might just need practice if youre not used to it :) the first thing I ever really made was Mac and cheese... and because my mom didnt like cheese I barely put any in and... it was a burnt tasteless white mess ;)

Oh I do love cake! I just try to live healthy, working out and eating healthy as much as I can. With that said, I don't do diets, that would make me go crazy lol, if I feel like eating cake I eat cake, I just don't eat the whole big cake for example. Everything within reason imo. We just have a thing in our family not to let ourselves decay or let go too much, we always take care of our looks, maintain it. I think it's a good thing.

 

I think the easiest thing to make is pasta with cheese yes, my niece loves it when I make it lol. It's so easy to make and I seem like an awesome cook to her when I do :D

 

EDIT: I gotta admit though, that after getting divorced and living by myself I don't really feel the urge to cook huge meals every day. It's quicker for me to slap something on a piece of bread or take some fruit or skip a meal entirely.

I love cake too haha

I dont really work out... ive never felt a need to I guess... but I do eat healthy :)

I dont really care how I look... I style my hair sure but thats just because it never does as its told... I dont wear makeup at all... partly because I have sensitive skin but mostly because I dont care ;) but eating healthy I do because I like most healthy foods haha... take away meat and I basically like everything ;)

 

I sometimes make vegetable curries... they dont take long at all you just put some things in a pan and its ready within maybe 15 minutes... so I like doing that :)

When I'm not playing the video games with my bowl of carrots next to me it's usually hummus and pita,  or some form of salad (more along the lines of tabbouleh, however, as opposed to the sort of "lettuce with a little rubbery bits of carrot" deal you find in supermarkets around here). I've been trying to learn how to make a lot of traditional middle-eastern cuisine lately which is sometimes kind of difficult because living out in rural bumfuck US of A means ingredients can be hard to find at the local stores. I don't eat pre-packaged foods or fast food, nor do I drink soda. 

 

...all of the food I prepare is for dextros of course. did you think i was going to make an entire shitpost about my eating habits without getting back to turians in the most awkward and circular manner
