Eating before a tournament

When I have a tournament in early afternoon (13.30), when and what should I eat for lunch?
Thank you for your answer.

Hi Christian,
Certainly nothing too heavy. Things high in carbohydrates would be good, like breads and cereals. I like to use fruit buns. Also make sure you are well hydrated. Water is fine here.
You could probably eat at around 12 to a little earlier, depending on your on table preparation required. In this case you could have a bigger breakfast as well so that you don't need to eat so much just before you play.
