Summary: Who doesn’t love to play video games?! From kids playing Mario Bros to college students playing Halo, we all have some experience with the gaming community. However, few of us are devoted enough to turn gaming into a profession. In this episode, we interview Lester Chen (Twitter: @LesterHKM) about his experience as a professional gamer! Find out what it takes to be one of the best gamers in the world! We also review our JEOPARDY! challenge and Mitch proposes a new challenge that has us all watching what we eat. Thanks for listening and a HUGE thanks to Lester for the great interview! MacroNutrient Challenge: Every meal you eat (snacks too) must include one distinct food item from each of the main macronutrient groups: Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein. The goal is to smooth out the insulin/blood sugar response and see if that helps us sustain energy/appetite throughout the day. Scoring: 1 point for each meal or snack that is compliant. Max = 5 per day (3 meals, 2 snacks) Perfect Site bonus: 1 extra point any time all your meals in one day are compliant (need to have at least 3 meals) Streak bonus: That perfect site bonus turns into a streak bonus on days you are perfect in a row. So if you had 3 days in a row of perfect sites, your streak bonus that day will be 3. IMPORTANT: If you put ANYTHING in your mouth that is a macronutrient without eating something from the other two groups, you are ineligible for the perfect or streak bonus that day. Combo foods are not considered a full, compliant meal. So even though a glass of whole chocolate milk contains some carbs, protein, and fat, you can only use this as one of your three items, so you can choose which one it counts for. Macronutrient Foods: All fruits/grains/vegetables/sugars count as carbohydrates Meat, Fish and Eggs are protein Fats are oils, butters, avocado, nuts Note: Don’t forget about your drinks. Beer and regular Soda, fruit juice, etc are carbohydrates, so add a fat and protein if you’re going to have one to keep your streak intact
