What is the best meal i can have before a footy game to give me the most energy?

Question

I play midfield so i have to run alot. what is the best meal to have before a game to give me the most energy

Answer 1

Grilled ham and cheeze sandwich + some cheetos on the side meal of true champions. try it

Answer 2

An apple (in tests gives you more energy and lasts longer than a 12 oz coffee) with peanut butter. Or something else with a lot of carbs, simple carbs like those in fruits,veggies, or nuts are MUCH better than complex ones.

Answer 3

no meal you need a shake (Milk honey sugar banana and milo) best have 45min b4 game

Answer 4

I would have a large pasta dish on teh night before your game, and then on the day of the game a light breakfast, and then some fruit - banana is good - just before going onto the field. Also make sure that you keep up your fluid intake through the day.

Answer 5

My grandfather was an excellent footballer even getting to VFL (now AFL) level and also a top Cyclist when not playing footy. He swore by bananas for both sports.

I personally might be a bit careful about smoothies as Milk is said to have some sort of chemical in it that can induce feelings of sleepiness and is drunk warm by a lot of people to induce sleep.

Answer 6

spegetti bolonese with a can of coke with a banana on da side : ) works for me
