Eating for energy
Strategy
Tony Dixon Asked 8 years ago
I play matches in a weekly session lasting four hours.
In order to have maximum energy to keep going the whole session:
1 How soon before play should I eat a meal?
2 Do I need a booster snack halfway thru the session?

Hi Tony,
I am not a nutrition expert but from my experience I used to find eating about one to two hours before was good as long as it wasn't too heavy. Things like pasta are good. Then during the 4 hours, keep having small snacks. I used to find fruit buns perfect during a long tournament.
Others may have some good ideas for you too.

Thank you Alois.
Buns sounds a good idea.
This is a great site!
I think you're a natural teacher.

Eat 8 eggs with lots of cheese and cream for breakfast, then just have some fruit or something else to get appropriately sugar hyped for big games :-)
Lunch and dinner optional.
Thanks Tony and thank Johan for your suggestions.
