    Ive been drinking those Naked fresh fruit smoothies lately. They provide some energy and feel somewhat healthy compared to alternatives, which is a plus.

    But my go to drink when Im really feeling laggard or know that I have a long grind ahead is the energy drink Amp. Probably not the healthiest choice, but it really sets my mindset in the right place, and Ive grown accustomed to the taste.

    1- Whey protein with oat. (supplement)2- Turkey breast sandwich with brown bread.3- Milk and banana.4- Glutamine (supplement).5- Grilled meats (made before the session).6- To drink only water and coffee without sugar.7- Fruits and salads.Important is to eat every three hours and not eating too much in one meal. Never energy drinks like red bull. Energy drinks are a pump sucrose that make you more active for a few hours and then you get depressed and need more and more energetic.

    The two longest sessions I've had were from about 7pm to 1-2am ... during week-days so the only thing I had with me was a bottle of wine (which I find is a great relaxant). I drank the whole bottle over the 6-7 hours (about 4-5 glasses); was in a perfect zone and managed to do allright in the respective tourneys. I did have dinner before that when I came back from work therefore was not drinking the wine on an empty stomach.

    Personally, I really enjoy an evening tourney stretching over a few hours, dimmed down lighting and a bottle of wine after a decent dinner.

    My favorite poker food is chili. Always a lot of it and it's easy to reheat.

    Great for the cold winters also.

    Chili FTW?

    And even though I am trying to quit drinking pop. It really is the best poker drink.

    Or in kevmode's world, just eat anything. Who cares what we eat, just eat. yikesss
