I just wanted to know what you eat before your swim practices or meets whether it be early in the morning or evening.
Thanks

Morning practices:Totally hungry, I drink water during the practice
Later practices: I do not eat anything 3 hrs before the practice, I drink black cofee and consume water as much as I can. I drink water during the practice.
If I need to eat something before the practice, any kind of fruit is OK. The wort case scenario is to eat oily food like meatballs, hamburgers or pizza. I need at least 4 hours to digest these (sometimes more).
Before the meets, I eat a good breakfast (2-3 hours before the meet), I eat bananas 1 hour before the meet and drink a lot of water.
Don't ask me about the post-meets or post-practice diets.
