Before Games...

What do you eat? What's the best thing I should eat before basketball games?

 

I always get a McFlurry on my way to the game. No reason.

 

I don't like to eat before games. I will usually have a small meal about two or three hours before game time.

Yea same here. If I eat before a game,I usually get a huge stomache after. Annoys the crap outta me.

 

With basketball I'd usually eat a bowl of cereal (Vector mostly) before the game. When I play soccer, I never eat anything 2-3 hours before, because I'm constantly running and the hungry feeling I get keeps me alert.

 

I don't know now..but Gary Payton used to eat 2 hot dogs before each game...

 

i usually dont eat at all before a game. even if im a little hungry.

 

A 6 inch subway, and a large sprite just about 40 minutes before I hit the court.

 

^^dont you have to be at the game before then??? 40 minutes and you rstill eating, that is weird for me. we have to be at games to watch the 9th, 10th, and JV teams play.

 

Yeah, I get my stuff when my mom walks in. I dont just show up like I am Iverson or something. I just like to eat close to my game it calms me down.

 

o, ok. that makes sense. i was thinking like you were sitting there eating while the rest of your team is suiting up and talking about the game plan.

 

I always get stomach aches before the game because I get really nervous so I don't eat much. Usually just an energy bar or an energy shake and then when I step onto the court my adrenaline takes over and I feel fine.

 

BE like hamilton and eat some kind of chicken before each game

 

a spicy chicken sandwic does it for me.

 

Pasta is the best before a game, lots of carbohydrates in it. then a banana at half time. thats why they call me.................BANANA MAN!LOL! thats true

 

I would never eat before a game, it'd just make me slower and lazier for some reason. I'd pig out afterwards tho.

 

i dont know how anyone can eat before games. i get really nervous and if i eat anything it makes me feel like throwing up. of course when i get on the court and play for like 2 or 3 minutes or so, ill be good. its just before the games that bugs me
