The Eating Habits of a Debater

So, I spent this past weekend in the beautiful, (and NOT dilapidated), city of East Lansing, Michigan. I was there to participate in the last debate tournament I'll ever be eligible for. (I'm graduating in May). I figured that I could chronicle the "nutritional demands", and the absolutely disgusting fares that come with the activity.

I am posting so late because I didn't have internet access over the weekend, and by the time I got home, I simply forgot to post this.

So, hero goes...

When: Friday, 12:00PM

What: Gobstoppers, and a bag of Baked Cheddar munchies. (Bag was about 1/3 done, and then one of the other debaters stole it.

Where: Somewhere in Illinois, honestly I don’t know. I couldn’t find a name.

Why: Because I was starving. I had not eaten breakfast because my stomach hates to have food put inside of it when I am tired in the morning. It’s finicky.

When: Friday, 3:00PM

What: Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich (Lettuce, Mayo), Fries, Diet Coke

Where: Somewhere in Indiana, again, I missed the name of the Town while I was driving towards the exit.

Why: Well, I wasn’t that hungry but I knew that it would be my last chance to eat until later that night so I figured I just should.

When: Friday, 7:35PM

What: Deep Dish Pizza (Pepperoni) I know, I know, I am a healthy eater.

Where: The hotel room in which I was staying in East Lansing, Michigan. We had ordered in.

Why: Because I was hungry, this one wasn’t too complicated.

When: Friday, 11:53PM

What: Gobstoppers

Where: Hotel room

Why: Because I was craving some of the gobstoppers that I had bought earlier.

When: Saturday, 1:33PM

What: Two pieces of spicy chicken pizza

Where: Debate Tournament, Day 1, Lunch

Why: Well, I was starving after I didn’t eat earlier that morning. I didn’t get enough sleep, and so my stomach felt fairly sour until the morning wore off.

When: Saturday, 7:45PM

What: Chicken Vindaloo, Butter Naan, and a Mango Lassi

Where: An Indian restaurant named “Sindhu” in Michigan.

Why: Because two years ago when I had gone to this tournament, we had dinner at this restaurant, and I had the incredibly spicy version of Chicken Vindaloo.

When: Sunday, 9:13AM

What: An Orange

Where: During the first debate round of the day

Why: I was feeling hungry, but I was also feeling slightly nauseas, so I figured the easiest food on my stomach would be an orange.

When: Sunday, 12:17PM

What: Chicken wrap (Lettuce, tomato, onion, mayoish stuff)

Where: Debate tournament lunch table

Why: It was lunch and while I wasn’t hungry, I knew I should eat so I’d have energy for the rest of the day’s debates.

When: Sunday, 7:35PM

What: Grilled Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, and Green Beans/Carrots, and then Chocolate Cake!

Where: Tournament banquet

Why: Because this tournament can be an epic shit storm of crazy, and so it’s nice to relax.

When: Sunday: 11:16PM

What: Bag of Munchies, “Blue” Flavor

Where: Gas Station near the hotel I was staying at.

Why: I was hungry…
