Best breakfast morning of a cross country meet?

Question

I have XC time trials tomorow morning at 8 so I want to know what the best breakfast would be...So far before every practice ( which are also early) i just eat mini wheats cereal and i do ok but is there anything better? also what should i eat tonight for dinner?

Answer 1

I am a triathlete and before races or long workouts I drink my breakfast. I drink Boost Plus which has 350 calories about 3 hours before my workout. That way if you have a nervous stomach you don't have to go #2. Also the calories are more readily used for energy.

For dinner, if you already have a healthy diet, it really doesn't matter what you have the night before. Eat what you always eat so there'll be no surprises as far as stomach intolerance.

Answer 2

What's best is different for everybody, since every ones body is slightly different and reacts to food intake slightly different. What I've found works best for me is a small bowl of cheerios with honey, and some fruit on the side. I have heard that drinking milk increases phlegm in the throat, but from my experience the amount of milk used in a small bowl of cereal does not make much of a difference.

Good luck and Good running!

Answer 3

The night before: pasta, bread, and plenty of water

The morning of: bagel, english muffin, or toast with peanut butter, a banana, and a bottle of water.

Snack before the race (30-60 minutes before)- protein bar, banana, water

bananas help prevent cramps, so eat one before you race :)

Answer 4

Answer 6

try and stay away from milk before a run.

Also, drink a glass of water a while before you run. You dont want cramps

Answer 7

when i wake up before a race I would have an english muffin with peanut butter(like 3-4 hrs before a race and whole wheat) 30 mins before a reace I would have a balance or power bar.  Hope I helped.

Answer 8

Drop the cereal, Eat a banana for potassium and 1 or 2 bottles of water. If you still feel hungry which you shouldnt eat a power/nutri grain bar. Drinkign alot of wate rhelps though i do socer workouts at 8 too and eating a banana and a botle of water makes me feel up to my top potential.

Pasta for meals is awesome to get a bunch of carbs for the long flow of energy.

Answer 11

You should eat pasta 2 days before a race. And for breakfast, wheat bread with peanut butter and a banana or even better oatmeal.
