Hi All, just wondering what everyone’s favourite post weigh in foods are for getting energy flowing?
Gavin
Big fan of blueberries, almonds, cheese cubes, & Fiji water
Cheese cubes - I like the sound of that, Blueberries are like a super food for me, love them!
Banana slices, peanut butter, pure honey on whole wheat bread.
Baby food. :)
Second on the banana slices, peanut butter, honey and whole wheat bread. Also diluted grape juice, keyword diluted. We were at a tourney once and our coach recommended this. One of our guys missed the diluted part, chugged a bunch and then vomited as soon as a match was over. That's the only one he didn't win that day:) It was sub only and went to a draw, he still took first like he has in every tourney. James Gamet is a beast.
Are you sure he didn't just spend too much energy getting dominated by a Gracie? :)Quote:

Don't judge til you compete on it. Baby food is the real deal. I get the squeezable packets.
I'm gonna try it! I would love to dominate and be asked what my secret was!! 'Baby Food!'
Depends on whether it’s “day-before” weigh-ins or “day of” weigh ins.
Day Before – Pedialite and/or coconut water. Balanced dinner with lean protein, carbs (potatoes, or noodles, or something like that), and plenty of dark greens (I want to be able to drop a deuce the next morning before going to compete). Morning of the comp, I eat egg white omelet with fresh spinach for breakfast, and then I snack on stuff like bananas, sunflower seeds, or maybe even some trail mix. Things that have some sugar, but are also calorie dense (high caloric intake without filling my stomach). Plenty of water or Powerade zero. Sometimes even some coffee an hour or so before my start time so I can get some caffeine and not have that “dazed” feeling from waiting around to compete all day.
Day Of - Pedialite and/or coconut water, but since I’m already depleted from making weight, I need high calories in an easily digestible form. I use the squeezable peanutbutter packs from http://ilovepeanutbutter.com/peanut-butter-packs.html . They have PB mixed with honey, PB mixed with maple syrup, etc. These are awesome post weigh-in foods IMO. Protein, sugar, sodium, calories, and easy on the stomach.
Thanks for all the great advice - making me hungry!!
