Eating On Race Day

My first meet in many years is fast approaching and I would like some advice on what to eat the day of the race. More particularly: What is a good breakfast menu that provides energy and will not weigh me down? I imagine that steak and eggs with a bloody mary may be a mistake, while cereal alone may not be enough. What are good foods and drinks to take to the meet and use for lunch or snacks? How often or when do you eat at the meet (e.g., after events, no later than one hour before next event)? Also, advice on what to eat the day before would be great.
