What do you guys find is best to eat before a swim meet?

  • Greg: I like eggs in the am before a meet too, but it seems like I read that protein doesn't digest quickly. Should we really be eating all those eggs? My daughter's swim coach also told her that she should eat a lot of pasta a few days before the meet but not the night before. This nutrition stuff changes so quickly. Pretty soon they'll start saying that coffee is bad again...
