Athletic Diet

Eating for competition means choosing the right foods to energize muscles during the event, and to rebuild for the next event. Try to eat small meals, loaded with carbohydrates before a sporting event. Timing of meals depends on your bodies tolerance the ideal is one to four hours before.

During competiton drink plenty of water based liquids consume about four ounces every fifteen minutes, If an event lasts longer than sixty minutes, add more simple carbohydrates within the first two hours. Muscles take more fuel right after a workout. Choose carbo drinks, fruits, grains whatever appeals to you. But don’t forget the water. Drink two cups two hours before, one half cup every 15 minutes during, and two cups afterwards
