gameday question

[riddlebox]

i have a game at 9:00 today. i am planning on going to a buffet for lunch with some friends, and stuffing myself. i will be done lunch by about 1:20. will that give me time to digest for a game thats at 9, or is eating that much on a gameday not such a good idea?

I wouldn't stuff myself thanksgiving-style on gameday, but you don't have to have a skimpy meal. You can eat big, just make sure you eat good and aren't eating stuff that will hinder your performance on the field.

I wouldnt worry about it. You would have 7 hours to digest your food. It usually only takes about an hour.

ok another question.... is it "smart" to do a cardio workout on the same day as your game??

ahha laxgood are you serious?an hour to digest food?it takes about 24 hours for food to passs through the digestive system

Yea but it only takes about an hour or 2 to process it to the point where the digestion wont affect your game.

As for the cardio, not sure. I suppose it cant hurt if you did a short cardio session early morning for an afternoon game.
