Pregame Meals

No matter who you are, every soccer player has a deep love for one common thing... food.
This might sound repetitive as an athlete, but make no mistake that what you eat effects your game for either the better or for the worse.

Complex carbs is a necessity to game day meals. They break down and provide energy that you need faster than proteins or fats. Some of these carbs include pasta, rice, breads, and cereal.
Instead of boring you more with the types of food you should eat on the daily, I am going to provide you with the perfect pregame meal options.

Meal #1

• Cereal
• Banana
• Toast w/jam
• Pineapple juice
• Water

Meal #2

• Turkey sandwich
• Apple
• Milk
• Tomato juice
• Water

Meal #3

• Mac and cheese
• Bread
• Juice
• Water

Meal #4

• Pancakes
• Applesauce
• Grape Juice
• Slice of bacon
• Water

Don't forget to end every meal with a glass of water to help digestion and stay hydrated for the game. It also helps to follow up each game with a bottle of chocolate milk. 

Your muscles will thank you!
