Pre-Workout Nutrition:
For optimal nutrition leading into an event or physical activity, eat a large meal about 3 hours before the event. The focus of this meal should be on carbohydrates (low glycemic index: whole grain breads, cereals, pastas, etc.) in combination with a small amount of protein (lean meats, fish, eggs, etc.) and healthy fats (almonds, flaxseed oil, etc.). Approximately 15-20 minutes before your game starts, drink 12-16 oz of a sports drink with a combination of high glycemic index carbohydrates and protein.
