Happy Halloween from the Encore Corporate Office!
“What should I eat for pre-game fuel?” We’ve got the solution.
“So you’ve practiced hard all week. You’ve hydrated and ate your pre-game meal 3-4 hours before kickoff. But right before you go out for pregame warm-ups, your stomach is telling you it needs more fuel. Keep it small and light. 1 hour prior to kickoff, eat 1-2 granola bars or a sports bar along with 1-2 cups of water or sports drink. Find a bar high in carbohydrates (at least 20-30 grams) and light to moderate in protein (2-10 grams). The carbs will give you the energy you need while the protein will satisfy your hunger but without giving you that full feeling.”
– Eric Oehms, Encore ATC
