Have a healthy snack.

Snacks are your secret weapon on game day!

veggies and hummus

string cheese and an orange

trail mix

peanut butter crackers

granola bars or fig bars

low-fat yogurt with fruit

Don’t get greasy!

Cheeseburgers and pizza taste

great, but they can slow your

digestion and make you feel tired.

Save them for the after-party!

Time it right.

It takes 2 to 3 hours for your body to

digest a meal, so it’s best not to feast

right before you play. Eat a solid break-

fast and lunch, and have a small snack

up to 30 minutes before playing.

Replenish at dinner.

Dinner is the chance for your

body to recover after the big

event. Include carbs in the

evening to help you prepare

for tomorrow’s action.
