Eating and Drinking Before Sport

The meal or snack eaten before sport provides a chance to tweak your ability to meet the nutritional goals ahead. The importance of this meal can range from a crucial top up of fuel and fluid levels before a nutritionally challenging event, to a simple psychological boost from favourite menu choices or eating rituals.  In all cases, your food and drink choices should leave you feeling comfortable and confident to start the event. You want to be able to perform at your best without experiencing either hunger or gut discomfort/upsets.
