The double 'ella...sliced portabella mushrooms slathered with Nutella© Hazelnut-Chocolate spread.






Consider this...

Good food combo.
Can be packed from home.
If the Nutella isn't slathered too deep it can be thrown down.
It will fit nicely between school and practice.
If prepared properly it should not be liquid.
JC Superstar endorsed.
Good for those who do not plan food.
Is not considered fast...or loose for that matter.
New idea to anyone...old fare to us.

I actually did some research on this so here's my take:
What you eat that morning or day won't do you much good when it comes to performance and energy. Obviously it will help but not as much as you think it may.

It's a lot more important to feed your body nutritional foods starting 2 days before competition. That's why it's very important to stay consistent in your diet. It's the same way with sleep. If you get 5 hours of sleep 3 days in a row then get 9 hours of sleep the last night before competition, you can't expect full energy when it comes to performance.

With respect to what to eat between practice or games, you should fuel your body with small snacks that will keep your blood sugar to the right level to function on top of your game with out crashing. Don't drink energy drinks. Just stick to water. It can't and will do no bad.

Woody, I've concluded you are either completely insane or an artistic genius!
Can't decide which. And there, I've played straight man for your next visual gag...

I pack two or three peanut butter sandwiches (just pb not jelly - son reports jelly makes the bread soggy if it stays packed too long) and cut them in half when my son has to play/ practice that evening. PB has the right amount of protein and carbs to keep him going. He also will take an apple and some pretzels, and he eats something every few hours. These aren't gourmet snacks, but fuel and not too messy.

Hope that helps.

So Jeff Van Gundy really was cuckoo..That explains why he hung on to Alonzo Mourning's leg as Mourning dragged him around the court during a Knicks brawl once....

It has been mentioned for this situation Peanut Butter Sandwiches are are great option... good sources of Carbs & Protein.

Another idea is to carry a ziplock bag of protein powder and a shaker bottle in your backpack. 3 scoops of protein and a water fountain... good snack.
