Question: Can you give me suggestion for a good pre-game meal?
Answer: The main idea of the pre-game meal is to provide energy and prevent hunger without eating so much that is causes cramping. This is really an indivualized call of what your body can handle and what you feel is best to eat.
Athletes usually get lighter meals (low in fat), 1-2 hours before the game. If you are playing in all day competitions, these light meals will work best thoughout the day. Things like cereal and low fat milk, trail mix, a turkey sandwich, nuts, cheese and crackers, tuna salad, pasta salad, fruit and veggies, and of course..plenty of water!
Your true energy will come from your glycogen stores. These should be filled by eating healthy meals higher in carbohydrates for several days before the big event! Don't forget, calories are what gives us energy!!
