Hello all.
I was curious to find out what some people reccommend for meet snacks. I usually don't pack much (the standard Gatorade and bagel), but if there is something that you use that helps you in the water, I'd like to try it. Especially when you are waiting through the 1000 and 500 frees to finish up during the meet... you just feel all creaky when you get up to go to your next event.
Thanks!

I hate most "energy bars" I think they're nasty and taste like plywood held together with old wallpaper paste. Don't even get me started on that gel goo.
However, my sister (who runs marathons in her spare time) turned me on to Luna bars (made by Clif), and to the Pria bars (made by Powerbar). The Luna bars are really good if you need energy; Pria is more for a low-cal, low-fat snack.
Plus, they fit pretty well in a swim bag, and if they get squashed, you're not cleaning banana goo off of everything.
They also have all kinds of vitamins and such in them - designed for women (extra calcium, folic acid, iron, etc.)
