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

    I've never had much luck with consuming carbs beforehand or during a workout. I did have some problems with low blood sugar during my first month of workouts though, when I got back into the water, and should probably have brought some. I don't feel like I need it at the moment but I'm not doing more than 1.5 hr workouts. I'd rather wait to eat until after my workout. I have a bit of extra body fat, like most swimmers. Might as well put it to use.
