renzo808 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have a bad habit of not having any breakfast in the morning. What do you eat on the morning of a match that would give you steady energy and not leave you sluggish/lazy later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeOne3345 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Lean protein of your choice along with a complex carbohydrate. Whole foods. I avoid "supplements" and other related garbage. Real food for me 100% all day everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_gorilla45 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If it's a local match, I'm eating the same thing I always do. 5 scrambled eggs with sautéed onions and peppers. I cut back a bit on the coffee as well. If I'm on the road, I will try to get as close to that as possible. As long as I get a good amount of protein and fat in my meal I can reduce the mental fade. Don't make the mistake of loading up on carbs without plenty of protein and fat to hold you through. You'll crash and feel hungry half way through the match.

bassochist Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 scrambled eggs, with toast or brown bread, and cheese, cup of thee, glas of (chocolate) milk, no coffee, and i put a little lunch package in my range bag (with some fruit, and some bars) and a bottle of water, and when a match is a whole day, i eat on the range, most ranges have excellent possibilities to buy food, and some level 3 matches here a lunch is included.

MustangGreg66 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I'm the same way, but on match day I make sure to have breakfast. I've noticed a big improvement in maintaining focus throughout the day and having a small lunch or snack is important too. I'll have 2 eggs on toast, maybe some hash browns, a banana, cup of OJ and half my normal cup of coffee. I know people say coffee is bad, but I occasionally get headaches if I stop drinking my morning coffee and I'm definitely not a morning person so every little bit helps. For lunch, I have made sandwiches before but now I've turned to just having a few candy bars, cliff bars and breakfast bars in my range bag along with several bottles of water when it gets hot. I do notice a difference when I take a minute between stages around noon to have a cliff bar and when it's hot, I try to drink about half a bottle of water after running each stage.

Pensfan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Same as every day... 4-6 pieces of bacon (baked in the oven) or similar amount of sausage, 3 egg omelet w/ sauteed mushrooms, lots of water. At the match I will usually have some protien in the form of jerky or nuts, and again lots of water. Best tasting way to lose 100lbs ever..

gonefishin Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I eat my usual 2 breakfast sandwiches, which includes high-fiber english muffins, turkey sausage patties and egg substitute with low fat cheese added. I will also eat two handfuls of granola and a peanut butter and sugar-free jelly sandwich during the match. I'm diabetic and if I don't eat, bad things happen. I went through one match last summer without eating anything during the course of the match and I was real unsteady by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagoth Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 3 eggs, oatmeal and water. Throughout the day is fruit, jerky and nuts. The jerky is chewable protein and the nuts will keep you sated, but the fruit will give you some quick energy. I only eat clean except for cheat meals. The cheat meal for me usually comes after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicVerAZ Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 A mix of fast and slow carbs: a bit of orange juice, preferably lots of pulps, whole wheat bread or the healthier type of cereals, and lots of protein. Barely any fat. I use Egg Beaters or white eggs if I have the time. Sometimes 5 whites and 1 whole egg (my dog sometimes gets the yolks but even him can get fat if he has too many). I grab a protein bar (I like Pure Protein) for a mid-morning snack. Note: I work out pretty much every day for one hour, so the protein thing is based on that lifestyle. I have almost banished junk good, deep fried nasty stuff, processed food, etc... I have no shame admitting I shop at the farmer's market and I do my best to eat things I know pretty much all the ingredients of. But then, that's just me, it's a free country.

Sounds excellent and very similar to mine. I need to add more coconut milk and oil to my diet as well. I love the effects of the coconut milk... but DANG it tastes nasty.

PKT1106 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I will usually snag a few pieces of toast and a granola bar out the door, but I have a lunch box with turkey sandwiches, apples, a couple of sweet things and some other fruit bars. I have to eat throughout the day or my blood-sugar drops like a rock. And water, lots and lots of water in the morning and throughout the day.
