I prefer eating first specially with MTTs and freerolls, occasionally, I would eat while playing but only on freerolls.

I've been told that the body (brain) works best troughout the day, if you eat alot of small mails during the day instead of just one or two big meals, because in between the big meals, the body will not be that active. But I don't know... I suppose coffee should/could be able to cure whatever problems one might have

I try to eat before playing because it helps me from tilting i find it works the less hungrier the better i play, sometimes when i am hungry when it starts i have to go at break make something quick than eat while playing in order to continue playing the best poker i can.

what kind of question is that? Usually you would eat beforehand so you don't have to stop playing
