123321 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This is very important to me; the tournament will be early in the morning so I'll be leaving a few hours before. I've been in situations where the wrong breakfast or the wrong time for breakfast gave me incredible stomach pains. How long before the second I'm in the ring should I have my breakfast and what should I/should not have?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the beast Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I like to eat really light before a tournament (normally just a piece of fruit) which is really a bad idea because it means going all day without anything else to eat. Just recently we started bringing food granola bars fruit etc.this really helped at the last one we went to. As far as eating before competing I guess it would all depend on what you eat. A small snack up to 10 minutes before competing probably wouldn't hurt.Hope this helps. Semper Fi , Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1962 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I usually eat foods that will sustain me but not be heavy or lie in my stomach. Some examples of different light meals that I might choose from are:toasted bagel with peanut butteryogurt with fruit and granolagood quality energy baregg whites on whole wheat toast (or) 2 hard boiled eggsoatmeal with bananaand of course, plenty of water and / or Gatorade.

DWx Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I find its best to eat something slow release a couple of hours beforehand, something like oatmeal or other cereal type food. Or a lot of toast with something like peanut butter on top. Then you can top upnearer the time with something lighter like a banana.

Traymond Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I usually eat a big dinner late, and for breakfast I eat some fish, and that usually holds me till 6 or 7 pm that night.

Ozpunker Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Personally. I'd eat a massive meal the night before, probably pasta or something similar. If I was competing in the morning I'd eat a light breakfast with not too much milk (Maybe toast and fruit). I'd take some musli bars or fruit in case I get hungry before the event. If I was competing in the afternoon, I'd eat a big breakfast and eat some healthy snacks during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armanox Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm probably not the best person to respond to this, but...Before a tournament I usually eat scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast.During the tournament I'll eat just about anything (Ham, pizza, donuts, hot dogs, tastycakes, etc).
