What should Athlete Eat 3-4 hours before a Game?

The pre-match meal is the most important meal when it comes to sports nutrition.Your pre-game meal can make or break your performance.What you eat before Match has a significant impact on your performance.Eating right food before Competition helps in better performance.It  should contain  500-1,000 calories, advised by dietitians.

#The best fuel for the job are carbohydrates, as they are digested quicker through the stomach, releasing energy more efficiently than fats or proteins.

#Sports nutrition, including “Nutrition” by Stanford University professor Paul Insel, recommend that endurance sports athletes, like soccer players, eat a diet consisting of 60 % or more in carbs. It provides fuel for leg muscles.
