I seriously try to eat fairly light but complex carbohydrates that are going to enter my system slowly. I dodge things like soft drinks and candy with a lot of sugar which is going to jack you up for a few minutes and then cause you to crash harder than ever when the insulin dumps.
I don't want anything heavy or greasy or large portions of anything. The goal is to maintain a nice level keel. I don't want to be so hungry that it is a distraction but I want to be a little hungry or neutral, there are good reasons to never even feel full at a competition much less like you overate.
