What foods should I be eating a few days before volleyball tryouts begin?

Question

I saw tuna as a suggestion, and i like tuna. I am a pretty picky eater though. I love pasta, is that good for you? Any suggestions will help, thanks:) and how much water do they say you should drink everyday?........I'm nervous about tryouts and any last minutes suggestions on things that I can do will be helpful.

Answer 1

try to eat some fruits and vegetables like grapes, apples, oranges, pears, carrots, some broccoli, remember potato and corn are NOT vegetables, there starches, u can eat potato skin with a potato though, that has iron in it. try to drink 2-3 glasses of milk a day.when eating regular food, u can have an night out for dinner or what u want, but try to not over eat so u wont get sick, dont snack a lot, and if u do have a very very high matabolism try to get active everyday, its crunch time so practice ur skills and go running a lot. drink a ton of water and stay calm for try outs, good luck! tell me how u do!remember, dont starve urself! eat as u would normally, just drink more milk and drink water, eat as usual, never over do it, just eat as normal, i cant stress it enough because i dont want u to be hurt or faint of anything

also make sure to practice ur skills, maybe bump and set with a friend or practice serves in a place u know u wont hit something, i hit against my garage, maybe with the door closed incase u mis the top of the garage, but ask ur parents first

Answer 3

Some great things you can eat are:

Bananas: bananas are full of potassium and it will keep you from cramping up, they also prevent fatigue

Pasta: Pasta can be taken but not too much because of its calories content and may increase people's weight.

Lean red meats: (Without much fat on them) Are good for getting iron you need

Yogurt, cheese, and low-fat milk: Have calcium that is a must for protecting against stress fractures

Good sources of protein are: fish, lean meats and poultry, eggs, dairy, nuts, soy, and peanut butter.

Answer 4

you're supposed to drink 60 ounces of water a day!!!!

tuna is the best protein for you , but bagels and peanut butter are a good breakfast especially the days of tryouts

as for pasta, be sure to eat it the night before the tryouts so you'll have energy in the morning

you should practice wall sits and lunges to increase your vertical!!!!

good luck at tryouts and remember be confident and try your hardest
