Hey everyday i have wrestling practice at 2:30, and it continues until 5. We jog/run, run drills, then we learn new moves, use them and then have some practice matches. What kind of snack can i eat before practice to give me some energy? my last meal is at 12:00 before that, so currently so im also getting alittle hungry.

banana

and apple juice cut with water.. maybe 1 part juice, 3 parts water

potassium increases performance while sodium decreases output...

maybe a small complex carb meal too!

caffiene would work as well..

maybe an "Emer'Gen-C" packet for ur c and b-vitamins.. b-vitamins are ur 'energy' vitamins.. along with electrolytes

Damn, I didn't know apple juice had potassium in it. I'm going to start consuming more of it.

Any non-tropical fruit, basically, and no dairy or breads or fatty meats. Maybe some veggies and a small portion of exceptionally lean meat (like a slice or two of turkey breast).

Is that Emer'Gen-C stuff any good? I saw it in a catelog, and was wondering about it.

I tend to drink a very small cup of coffee before I go train. It helps to wake me up, especially if I'm training early in the morning.

granola bar. I got a recipe around here somewhere...

personally.. when i take caffiene.. i feel like shit, however, i can still focus meaning it's good for studying, and working out.. but not good for feeling 'well'..

with emer'Gen-C i dunno about everyone, but it makes *me* feel 'well' AND boosts my energy levels 'noticeably'.. but the effects don't last as long as caffiene (but really, what does? lol).. i guess u can compare it to the energized feeling u get when u wake up in the morning on a good day (not exactly the same though )

but yeh.. i noticed i can work out longer when i drink emer'Gen-C before working out..

i made a thread on favorite Emer'Gen-C flavors.. add to it!
fav Emer'Gen-C flavor?
