Food is fuel for the body and yes, it matters what kind of fuel we put in this machine.
Although I know this well, I don't / can't always follow good nutrition practices before live tournaments and may end up chugging burgers before the cards are in the air.
Other times when I can find time to prepare food (or better yet have food prepared for me) I try to eat a meal with a good portion of protein in it (fish, meat or eggs) so that it keeps me full for a longer while.
I also try to keep hydrated throughout the tournament but it sometimes forces me to make runs to the washroom before breaks! I found that sucking on ice reduces this problem...
So, what do you eat before those long sessions, do you really think that what and how much you eat may effect your performance?
