Do You Like To Eat Or Drink Something When You Work To Computer

Fruits? maybe just a sandwich or a coffee, all time when we are in front of computer we like to eating or drinking something, as we like when watch to a movie. Is something what we like to do...is not good for health of course, doctors say that we must to pay a lot of attention how we eat, what we eat, try to masticate very good our food. But all what is good make us fat too...i am right? What you eat or drink right now to your computer?Cola? a sandwich or just a ice cream?

I do eat and drink while I'm using or working in front of the computer. From finger foods to main courses, I eat in front of the pc but not all of the time. Just once in a while or when i'm really busy to go to the dining room. [anna04]
I have all the time a coffee and mineral water with me...and maybe a fruit, something. [marianna45]


When I'm at my computer there is just one thing I cannot do without and that's the good old cup of tea!! Whilst I'm doing whatever I'm doing on the computer a nice cuppa helps to pass the time, it's something to do with your right hand rather than constantly punching down on those keys! I never eat at the computer though, I save that until I have finished my session. Sometimes I might move away just to give my eyes a rest as I have one of these flat screen monitors and staring at one of these constantly is not good for the eyes. Anyway, here's to a good cuppa which even now I'm drinking as I type this post! Andrew [AndrewFreyne]
In the winter i like a cup of tea too, now i like drink a cold mineral water [marianna45]



Most of the time when i am working on computer i also like to eat or drink.Mostly when i am watching movie on my computer.I like to eat snacks or cold drink. [satish4080]
try to replace snacks with a fruit, is more healthy...even snacks are so good.... [marianna45]


Sometimes because of you can not leave your work, you prefer to eat while working in your computer. There are fruits, and bread, with cold water beside me especially at night. [glesil_00]
is very good to eat fruits, are so refreshing, but avoid sweets and snacks. [marianna45]



I use to eat when I was using the computer, but now I don't because, I don't have the internet at home any more, I come to the library everyday, to use the computer, when I did eat when I was on the computer, it would be ice cream chips, juice something like that, and I put on a lot of weight doing that to, so I am glad I don't eat using the computer any more, now I have to walk all this weight off.sadthumbdown [notlistening2]
You must to be very carefully with what you eat, fruits, salad, or maybe just dietetic ice cream is better [marianna45]


Sometimes I have a cup of tea when I'm working on computer but I do not eat anything when I'm working on computer. I take a break from computing for a while and have my lunch or dinner and then again I begin my work. It is the wise thing to do. Right? [aditya_k85]
yes, is very wise, but if you want eat a fruit or a salad, you can do to computer too [marianna45]


When watching movie or facing the computer, i'd like my mouth to be busy in munching anything,, Anything that my mouth can munch wether messy or not so that i can think more. yes its not really healthy depending on the food your eating. for some they find it destructing but for others like me, it gives me more input to share or more things to tell because from what i think, it makes my brain work. well right now im eating a vegetable salad and water,, and after that some chips, and after that..hmm that is what im going to think what to eat next,, hehehhe [marites31]
SAlad and water is enaught,...let cheeps for tomorrow...you can put a big paper in front of your eyes, and write there..." I WILL CHEEPS AND SMNACKS TOMORROW"...AND EVERY DAY YOU WILL READ SAME WORDS...AND TOMORROW WILL BE ALL TIME TOMORROW [marianna45]


I do.I actually eat chips or drink juice or chocolate drink while working on my computer.it happens especially when I have a lot of work to do.I am always careful so I won't spill food or drink in my laptop or desktop. [my_name_is_coco]

I spend a couple of hours in front of my computer each day. Once in a while, I do eat and drink while working with my computer. Most of the times, I will munch some snacks, or tidbits like crackers or chocolates which is my favourite, accompanied with a cup of coffee. There were times when I was too engross with what I was doing with my computer and do not want to pause halfway, I had my main meal here while I continue with my work in front of my computer. [bloglog]

yes I like eat spicy snacks while working on computer [veeragonisri]
id love eating infront of my computer especially if im busy surfing the net and have no time going to the dining area to eat.. [ryaeneolver]


Right now im drinking Sprite Soda. . .yep sodas or water most of the time ^^V makes me relax while watching movies or surfing the internet. . . i dont usually eat in front of my computer though. . ^^V [vhinzstrife]

yes.Work to computer will cost a lot of energy.At this time eat or drink simething like acup of coffee is a good way to relax your spirit.It's just my opinion. [Jakywoo]

I like to munch on something when on the computer. However, with the amount of time I spend on the computer, it would not be healthy for me to keep munching on all the time. Fruits, carrots, crackers are sound ok for munching. [kalaga]

I only have coffee near my computer. I try not eat at my computer. Maybe I've done it a handful of times. At work, I only have water next to me, and I have spilt on my computer. Nothing much happened. [TremendousMachine]

HI, YES IN SPECIAL FRUITS AND COFFEE AND MINERAL WATER, THIS I HAVE NEAR TO ME. I don t like to go to the kitchen all the time, and before i seat to my desk, i bring with me all what i need. I like to eat an apple or a banana, or a orange. And all the time i have a coffee here, with me. But i don t eat cheeps or sandwich, i know that this can make me fat, and i try protect my siluete.wink [icesmile]

Yup, i'm a computer addict, lol. I hope they'll start manufacturing computer tables that include a glass holder, lol. I often do this when I'm working on a huge project or something, times when you get busy but you also need to eat so multi-task. The important thing is not to skip any meal. [pickoy]

well, actually, I eat nothing when I am on the computer, its because I dont want to get up and walk all the way to the fridge and take out something to eat, maybe if i fell like it, htne I'll eat, otherwise, I just stay where I am and start surfing the web, like always, anyways, IF I feel like eating then I eat something like, chips or candies, and cola, I guess you were right, HAppy-Mylotting [jziakhan]

I don't eat at the computer because knowing me...i'd get crumbs in my keyboard or something cool like that. I usually do have something to drink nearby. I don't set it on the desk tho because ya...i've spilled it on the keyboard and that is not good. cry. I now have a little stand next to the desk that I can keep a coffee or something on. so far...no mishaps!happy [sid556]

Eating while working on the computer can be fun and if one is not careful, we dont really notice how much we have already eaten. That's why I never take snacks or chips while I am on the net or working on the computer. ITs mostly a bowl of grapes or some sandwiches or maybe biscuits even...sometimes I have my breakfast while working at the computer in office. [sudiptacallingu]

At the moment I'm having coffee it's 8:30 in the morning here (Egypt) and I'll have another one later. I do eat snacks when I'm in front of computer, sometimes I'll have chips, cookies, chocolates and sometimes nuts or dried fruits, but it all depends on what we have, but I do love snacking when I'm in front of the computer. happy [CJay77]

Wow i love to search about new software online and eat my favorite snacks and eat ice candy.i do love sports,news,music, etc. to be balance our diet and eat vegetables.i drink milk i am like a kid to drink a milk while do my work at the computer program. [edrian]

`yeah.i love eating and net surfing at the same time.:D [mEisky]

I don't usually drink or eat anything when I am using the computer. But sometimes I do drink a cup of water or tea when I am thirsty and am using the computer. I try not to spill any drink or food onto my computer because it may damage it. [chunijole]

i find myself eating almost every meal in front of my laptop, especially fingeroods. It's not that i'm hungery, maybe it's psychological, i don't know.. When i start to crave for something or i get to see something delicious online, i try to find it in our house. Most of the time, we don't have the supply so i eat what's available but my craving is still there. That is the reason why i keep gaining weight :) i need to appease my craving or else i tend to eat everything. [orevro]

actually right now im popping junk food with cold water. hehe :) [kling2388]

Not regularly, but I like having something life wafers or biscuits, or nuts to keep me awake. [trixyteddy]

When I am working on and infront of the computer it is necessary to have something to chew and swallow.It is something that keeps me awake and attentive in doing my work while enjoying a meal there.It is undeniable that we will get fat very fast when we do that.This is due to the reason that we are only seated and not moving and we are consuming more carbs that will not be burnt. [maikarumike]

I do eat but I have to say my biggest indulgence is smoking. I can burn up a pack of cigarettes very easily while sitting at the computer. I think I would be much better off if I ate. I have tried keeping the pack of cigarettes in another room so I have to get up to get them. That does help a little. [Purplelaurii77]

oh yes i definately like to munch on something while working on my pc... a choc-bar or a cup of coffee works great..!Its a good refreshment..though at times i am way too engrossed in my work to care enough about eating or drinking anything!:P:) [ektarox]

Yes, when i am doing something here in my laptop i always want to eat. I am more into junkfood yah i know its bad for our health but really love it. Thanks God each day passing i train myself not to eat junkfood. So now i have crackers and a glass of milk or sometimes a glass of milk with cereal on it. When i am eating while working in front of laptop i feel i am more relax and have more energy than just sitting in front of this laptop and do things here. Now i have a piece of cake hahaah!. [kmaram]

Yes, it is a habit of mine actually to have something with me when i pound away with my keyboard. Sometimes it is junk food. Sometimes it is coffee, or chocolate drinks, or milk, or maybe coffee. Anything to munch on, i like. I really like to have something in my mouth, and it is just like watching television. I like popcorn and softdrinks. Maybe it is just a habit, as i cannot really type well as i post comments here at mylot if there is nothing beside me on the computer table. It sometimes makes me wonder how it is going to feel like if i will be drinking hard alcoholic drinks as i type comments for mylot. Wonder if i can still type well when i am already drunk. [safejunk]

Well, there is one thing I like to do when I'm working at my computer, and that is a glass of hot water. For one thing, I need to drink a lot of water when using the computer for the sake of my health. As we all know, the computer gives off much radiation which is intolerable to human body as it often results in cancer. Water helps to preven our body from lacking water. For another, when we're using the computer, we often forget to twist our eyes and stare into the screen for a long time. This often leads to dryness in the eyes. The vapor given off by hot water keeps the air moist which is good to our skin and eyes. [chenxiaoyue_713]

Yes,you are right.Drink or eat something when we are work in front of computer will make us become fat.For me,i always ate junkfruit like chocolate or cracker.I like to eat them when i work in front of computer because i will feel not energy and not have spirit to work when i am working on computer.But now i try to reduce this bad food because i want to look slim and healthy.I don't want get diabetis and feel tired because of too fat.It is okay if we seldom eat that bad or junk food when we work on computer but if it too often,we might have a problem with that and maybe will have more big problem in the future.Thank you and have a nice day. [hanah87]

i sugg to eat more fruit and less high-fat food. in particular,pregnant women.unscientific ,i know to eat in front of the coumputer. there is a radiation,it is said it is wrong to eat in front of the TV. girls should hve a good have a good babit and have a good body. [start20090509]

I usually have lunch, that is fast food, in front of computer. Just because I`m a lazy guy and don`t want to go a far way to the dining room. I do know the radiation that computer emit is harm to human body. But I have no choice but accept the true and at the same time I can make utilize the short time surfing on the internet. Ha ha! [flyisky]

i have no this habits, when i work to computer,i think about how i finish with my job. if i eat something when i work to computer and often interupt my mind, this can influence my work. i hope that i pay my attention to work and finish it quickly. so let me have other time to do other thing. [bingchen]

I often drink tea at my computer, but I never eat anything here. I love coffee too, but I am not very good with the caffeine. happy -Derek [derek_a]

Nothing right now. But my daughter loves to play games online and eat cookies at the same time so that I get cookie crumbs all over my keyboard! lol [beautyqueen26]

Hi marianna, I eat at the computer all the time. I will eat brakfast and dinner as well. I is not unsullay for me to drink coffee, water, or solfdrinks at the computer table. [scififan43]

I do eat sometimes when I am on my computer but not all the time. I might have water or pop to drink. I eat samack food when I am on my computer once in awhile I will eat my meal at my computer. [happy6162]

I don't really eat at the computer. I do drink my coffee at the computer. It's just a habit I got into. [ersmommy1]

I try my hardest to not eat or drink anything while on my computer. I have a laptop and i am deathly afraid to spill anything on it. But I do have times where i do. If i am only getting on and right off. Or if im already eating then get on here. But i mostly jus eat something quick in those types of situations. [BreeBabee]
I agree. It can be pretty disastrous to spill things on the laptop! w00t [lordwarwizard]


When I work to computer, I always drink plain water a lot, or sometimes I will get some fruit in the middle of my rest time, or take a cup of coffee or tea with some cookies. This is the way what I had done. [my125125]

Hello marianna45, I do snack while sitting in front of my computer especially when I am busy mylotting, but I don't bring along a drink. It is just packet of snack food. I prefer to use my desktop which is in our computer room and that room belongs to my husband most of the time due to his workload. So, for not ruining his stuff with food and drinks, I stop myself from drinking in front of the computer happy [gr8life]

Hello marianna. I usually drink some tea or fruit juice before my computer. Also I eat my meals before my computer because I don't want to let the time slip by when I get home to use the computer. [williamjisir]

everytime i leave my computer table there goes a hella lotta wrappers of chocolates and chips crimps...it has become a habit of eating while computing...browsing with chocos in the mouth is really a heaven... happy mylotting [ddfreedie]

Hi marianna45, I drink sky juice... is water considered a drink by your definition? Oh yea, green tea too. If yes, yea, I drink a lot. Otherwise, besides the occasional cup of coffee, that's about it. (Are there that many things to drink anyway? rasp) I am okay with drinking things... I just try to avoid eating at my computer, well mainly because if you drop anything... you are basically inviting pests like ants and cockroaches. [lordwarwizard]

I like to drink coffee whenever I am in front of the computer, our aircon produces so super cold temperature, I need coffee to warm my body down.I also have candies and chocolates, sometimes cookies, but I really don't want to use my hand while eating because I am typing words so I guess chocolate and coffee are good food to me. When I am eating I focus on eating and I certainly like to turn off my computer to have my eyes focus on my food and to finish it fast. [grecychunny26]

As much as possible, I avoid eating or drinking while in front of the computer. Especially here where ants easily appear out of anywhere, I don't want to have insects up on my computer from leftover food. Also, I find it kind of difficult to eat while typing away at the computer. I normally go and eat for a few minutes, sort of like having a break from the screen as well, then go back to what I do at the computer. The very few times I've eaten while at the computer, is maybe snacks or a quick meal when I simply cannot stay away from what's on screen even for a little while. Other than that, I take a break from the computer and eat comfortably. [MariaD]

I actually have been trying to NOT consume food when I work at the computer. I work all day long at a computer so I think that it doesn't benefit me to eat all the time. I do try to keep a beverage there at all times because I do get thirsty quite often. I think it is easier to get more work done if you dont eat. The busier you are the easier it is to not eat. [nrn2003]

It depends. Sometimes I eat my lunch and/or dinner here. [General_Spacey]

If I am hungry or thirsty it does not matter if I am at the computer. I am careful about drinks near the computer however to avoid accidents. [Canellita]

Hello there.. well, i dont really eat or drink when im in front of my laptop coz ill just make it dirty...so what i do is, i just chew bubble gum, so that i wont get bored.. [fheroan]

i spend most of my time working in a computer. i start as early as 8 am and i stay glued to it till 9 in the evening. that's why i eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner with my computer. ha ha ha. [jojorv]

I sit in front of my laptop all day long and work from home. I wake up in the morning and grab a cup of orange juice or coffee; and sit in front of the machine. I will stop for a bite of food probably every three to four hours and bring it back to the laptop to continue working , but at least I get up on occasion to break the monotony of being in my seat.
