1. Right before an athletic competition: Players should have a light meal or snack prior to arriving at games. In the morning, toast and fruit, such as a banana are excellent, as is a pure fruit juice. (the juice is even better if diluted 50% with water for additional hydration.) Eat items that are easily digestible, and try to eat shortly after waking. Avoid heavy or greasy foods like bacon, home fries, doughnuts, and cheese steaks. These take longer to digest and may have a negative effect on performance.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE.............
- For early morning competition and no time to have a full meal at least 3 hours before the competition, the best choice is a nutrition drink that has a higher protein to carb ratio. Good choices are the pre-mixed canned drinks (e.g. Myoplex protein shakes, MET RX protein shakes) These shakes come in different flavors and are best when served cold. They usually have between 200 and 300 calories and because they are in liquid form are digested quickly and easily distributed into the bloodstream. You can always bring a six pack when you are traveling and just put them in ice when you arrive at a hotel, or keep them in a cooler. Also bring some straws for easy consumption. One of these an hour before and right after each game can be beneficial.
- For those having difficulty maintaining their weight, a high calorie count drink can also be beneficial. Slim Fast provides nutritional benefit without excessive calories. Another choice is Boost or Ensure that has a high protein count.
2. Day before or night before competition (should be eaten at least 3 hours before a
competition): Eat complex carbohydrates (starches). Starchy foods such as pasta, breads, cereals, potatoes, corn, peas and others provide a major energy source to fuel your activities. These foods are also a source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Keep protein and fat intakes low since these slow digestion.
3. Avoid bulky foods. They may stimulate bowel movements. Bulky foods include raw fruits and vegetables, dry beans and peas and popcorn.
4. Avoid gas-forming foods such as vegetables from the cabbage family and cooked dry beans.
5. Eat slowly and chew well.
6. Fruit juice or water rather than soda, always! The juice is even better if diluted 50% with water for additional hydration. Drink water to be adequately hydrated. One suggestion is to drink 2 cups of cool water 1-2 hours before the event. Follow this by drinking additional fluid 15 minutes before the event.
7. Avoid drastic changes in your normal diet routine immediately prior to competition. Some athletes prefer to use favorite foods which may give them a psychological edge.
