The best foods for those who play online

Now that many of us are back in lockdown, telecommuting and collecting at weekends, food issues are again becoming pressing. Circumstances force us to stay at home, watch TV, read, play video games or play online . Now, these activities are by nature sedentary, so it is necessary to take some caution to ensure that our energy consumption does not exceed the limits.

And, in truth, who has never devoured a simple pack of snacks while watching a movie, series or playing slots? However, we must avoid it! The trick is to set reduced portions and not reinforce the dose, of course. And, since we're talking about snacks, avoid fried foods and prefer dried fruits, but only a handful of them... no more! And it is important to take into account that some dried fruits are more harmless than others. Traditional peanuts are tricky in terms of calories. You should also avoid excessive consumption of bread, sugar and fast food during periods of gambling. Also swap soft drinks for their calorie-free counterparts and drink water.
Now that we have covered habits and behaviors to avoid, we move on to very appetizing suggestions for your afternoons or nights of play.

Zucchini sticks with ham

Cut the zucchini into sticks and roll them into thin slices of ham. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and you will be left with a delicious snack, with only 90 calories.
By the way, zucchini should become one of your best friends. Since it is low in calories, you can use it to replace pizza dough and prepare, for example, appetizing mini pizzas from ham, mozzarella, tuna, mushrooms, etc. Season well with basil and oregano and use tomato pulp, before baking. You will see that you hardly notice the difference between this dough and conventional pizza dough! You will be surprised by this real delight.

Carrot sticks

Carrot sticks or, alternatively, sweet potatoes, well seasoned and baked in the oven, can be a pleasant substitute for french fries, a real addiction of this one who writes to you.

Meals

Avoid carbohydrates and bet on protein. Eat meat and fish, cooked as you please, except fried or cooked using fat. No type of fish or meat is prohibited! But forget about pre-cooked meals. Processed food, in general, is also to be avoided. The preparation of these foods uses flours, fat and harmful ingredients for our good shape and health. If you have more free time, make use of your kitchen train. As friendly and convenient as the microwave is, give it a vacation.

It's time to return to the Mediterranean and Paleolithic diet. Eat soup! If you're a vegetarian or vegan, look for healthy alternatives to processed vegetable protein.

Physical activity

In addition to these healthy eating suggestions, remember to take breaks from long periods of play and take your hygienic stroll, or simply go to the window, moving away from all screens. If you're in the middle of a gaming session, you can always use the autoplay function and continue playing, even if you're not in front of your device. The game goes on for you. Can you imagine the excitement if, when you return, you have collected in automatic mode a bonus that you were not counting on?! That would be a surprise.
