What should you eat before playing in a sporting  event?


assistant
If you are playing a physical sport, you want to have enough energy to compete at your highest potential.  Water is very important to avoid dehydration.   Carbohydrates are also important but you should eat them two hours prior to the activity.  Lean protein such as chicken, pork or fish is a great source of nutrients.
