diet before meet

:-} for one thing, you don't want to eat anything that will make your stomach upset...so stay away from those foods that have the potential. What always helps me stay up and energized is eating a whole carb, with a vegetable and a protein. For example: bowl of whole wheat pasta with olive oil drizzled on it chicken breat sauteed, not fried vegetables--broccali, squash, whatever...steamed or sauteed If you can avoid sugars, and refined carbs you'll be more energized and you'll crank through your races. The morning of, whole oatmeal (like a 1/2 cup), along with a couple of eggs will keep you charged for a long time. In the oatmeal--don't add sugar, and make sure it's whole oatmeal, not quickie oats, or any of that other junk with sugary flavors in it. In high school my coach told me no milk one week before a race--i followed the advice, but not sure what purpose it served. Go get 'em!
