I sometimes munch a snack while reading. However, I tend to overeat since I am not paying attention to the food. It's just like mindlessly eating while watching TV for me.

No, I am bad at multi-tasking and also because I like to read either on my bed, outside, or on the train. I like to eat my meals and enjoy that separately from reading.

Not all the time but most times I'm always with a plate of chocolate cookies so my book don't get snatched from me for skipping meals.

Yes. This has been a habit since I was in Junior High School. It makes me think that I don't need to eat more since my brain was focused on reading.

I don't mind having a snack when reading usually a light snack and a glass of smoothie. Sometimes tea or orange juice will do.

Usually I don't eat while I'm reading, however, sometimes I eat chocolate. Of course, I can eat chocolate while doing anything.

I don't usually eat while I read, but there is one exception. We are lucky to have a bookstore in our area that specializes in serving book groups. They have book group sized tables and seating areas. They also have a menu that consists of delightful foods that are easy to eat while reading. When I am there, I feel compelled to have a snack while I read. Everything is yummy and book inspired!

I don't like eating say spaghetti or bbq near an open book, but yeah if it's a really good book it will come along for the meal. I usually keep a drink at hand too.

Usually I don't but depends on my mood. I like to eat while reading when I feel like I won't be able to put down the book I'm reading. When I'm in the middle of reading and feel like I'm going to finish it, I got up and fix some snacks then continue on reading it.

I don't like eating while reading, it distracts my mind.
