I have my first football game of the season today, so i was wondering what would be good to eat for energy and stuff.

I guess i didn't really think earlier and should have put this in the food section. We won our game though, 46-6 and i had a fumble recovery and 5 tackles.

Try to eat complex carbs and a nice mix of lean protein and healthy fats...

about 2 hours before the game...something like..brown rice/quinoa drizzled with olive oil and piece of chicken with some veggies....

or if its in the morning ....serving or two of oatmeal with whole rye/wheat with PB&J and a banana....or oatmeal with a few eggs or protein shake and a banana...

key is to eat slow digesting carbs that give you energy for longer periods...(oatmeal, brown/black/wild rice, yams, sweet potatos, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, lentils, etc)...

also give yourself more time to digest bigger meals...so if u eat a big meal give yourself at least 2-3 hours to digest the food....and 45-60 min after a smaller meal
