  13. Pre-game Meal Plan • Eat the meal at least three hours before an event. • Starch is easy to digest and helps steady the levels of blood sugar. • Consume only moderate amounts of protein. • Protein foods take longer to digest than starch. And high-protein meals may lead to increased urine production, which can add to dehydration. • Limit fats and oils. They take too long to digest. • Restrict sugary foods. • Sweets can cause rapid energy swings in blood sugar levels and result in low blood sugar and less energy. • Avoid foods and drinks that contain caffeine. • Caffeine stimulates the body to increase urine output, which can contribute to dehydration problems, and a full bladder can be very uncomfortable. • Watch out for foods that produce gas. • Remember to drink plenty of fluids with your pregame meal.

If you experience any adverse reactions, your body has little time to recover. • Fruit-flavored drinks Many drinks contain little fruit juice and a lot of sugar. Read the label.
