Pre-Comp Meals

I am competing this weekend and I wanted to know what you all think about pre comp meals. Seems like the high carb night before and light morning meal is pretty standard but does anyone have something tried and true?Attachment 2203

You have no idea. The tradition of chicken and waffles runs deep through our blood at 10P Chicago. There are some health nuts in the gym who aren't about that life, but ill tell you this much. The win to loss ratio when eating chicken and waffles is essentially 3:1. You can't lose when you have the power of southern Cookin on your side.

But in all reality I would get something that isn't interfering with your diet, if you're on one. If not fuck some chicken and waffles up and watch your opponents crumble with the super powers you get from the syrup, waffle, and fried goodness combination.

I heard Chicago just opened a Hash House A Go Go there. Ultimate Chicken and Waffles, lucky bastards

Since I'm allergic to most of the chicken and waffles meal (gluten intolerance), I don't have a specific meal for the night before. I do however always have a gluten free toaster waffle with fresh ground peanut butter and a banana sliced on top the morning of comp. It gives me the energy to get through many matches without needing to eat midday.

You hit the nail on the head. Carb load the night before and something light with a pre-workout shake the morning of. Personally, I eat a lot of pasta and drink a lot of coconut water and oolong tea the night before (more carbs always, and a lot of sodium and electrolytes if I've cut weight), and I eat some oatmeal and mix some creatine in some gatorade or something the following morning.

Olive garden at night,dennis in the morning.Champions fuel...

Sushi if I win, three days of punishing starvation if I lose! That will teach me to protect my neck!

Hash House's chicken and waffles is so over rated. Yeah its all infused and fancy, but good ole soul food is better. Hash house in general is overrated, great bloody Mary's though.

I always eat an onion bagel with salmon cream cheese before I compete, with trail mix throughout the day. Night before if it's day of weigh ins, whatever I am dieting with. Day before weigh ins, I usually eat thai food

Overrated? BLASPHEMY! (or maybe it tastes so good because im a half bottle deep every time I eat there)

The way my kettlebell instructor explains it to me is that if you have eliminated carbs from your diet for a while that the after weigh in carb rush is actually really hard on your system, so trying to eat to many carbs can have a negative effect same as not enough

He also said that after the weigh in to do light cardio, because after you shock your system with a weight cut the next time you exert it you will gas very quick and you wont recover as much even if the matches are spaced far apart.

That being said, i dont cut weight the last tournament I was in I had many burgers before because I wanted to make the higher weight class......

I didnt cut weight for naga either...

I've experienced this before, that's why I never completely eliminate carbs from my diet anymore. Simply tapering down ahead of time allows me to get the job done and still carb load the night before and adequately use them for energy the next day without putting a strain on my body.

Lol, if you're drunk their portion sizes are probably amazing. Try their bloody Mary next time, they blend peppers into it and it is pretty amazing. Too bad their drink sizes don't match the meals

Blend fruits and veggies!! Coconut oil/MCT oil. Shroom tech, alpha brain and some bullet proof coffee

Personally i like to eat very small and light meals at least the day before and a meal replacement shake the day of, really bloated and sluggish having my body trying to process a heavy meal/s from the day before whilst competing at the same time.
