YOU WATCH WHAT YOU EAT

The average adult spends 77 minutes a day eating and 154 minutes watching television. So it's certainly possible that your stomach and TV set are on the same channel.

You might feel like eating tossed salad and scrambled eggs during ``Frasier,'' a la the show's theme song (though brie and a nice chardonnay might be more appropriate).

Chamomile tea might unjangle your nerves as the tension on ``E.R'' builds. Try a baked Alaska that explodes for ``Home Improvement,'' Whoppers during ``World's Funniest Videos'' and Tang during ``Star Trek: Voyager.''

``Friends'' demands cappuccino, espresso and Diet Coke; ``Malibu Shores'' suggests chicken - cordon bleu and McNuggets. For late night, try Jay Leno with Cheeze Whiz and Ritz crackers; Maalox and a cigar in honor of David Letterman.

During ``Martha Stewart Living,'' don't eat at all. Anything you make will taste like wallpaper paste compared to what she's creating.
