    Pregame Meal

    What is best food to intake before a serious anaerobic exercise like a hockey game? I have toyed around with different things and found that carbs (white rice / kidney beans / pasta) leave me hanging late in the game and that too much protein (8 oz. of chicken or Ground Turkey) have me decorating the ice with my dinner. I have tweaked it down to where I am not feeling sick (1 cup white rice, 6 oz ground turkey) but still feel like I am not getting enough energy late in the game. Would going heavier on the carbs help?

    As a general rule I am eating approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes before I play my first minute of hockey.

    Thanks

    Hmmm... might it be helpful to keep a simple whey and dextrose shake going to sip on toward the end of the game? Or perhaps a few of those gel-packs the marathon runners take.

    If you try the whey/dextrose thing, try one scoop of sugar-free whey with two scoops of dextrose. Dextrose is twice as dense as whey (roughly) and this will give you a 4:1 carb : protein drink. Either dilute it in a LOT of water (like, in at least a litre of water) or just take the odd sip of it and continue to drink your water as you normally would for thirst.

    Simpler still might be ordinary chocolate milk. Again, this is in addition to the water you drink while playing.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.

    if you are lactose intolerant like many then you want to use a whey protein isolate (WPI). with WPI all of the lactose, ash, etc. has been removed so you have a more refined product.

    you should be able to find dextrose and/or maltodextrin in your local supp. shop if not very cheap online from places like the proteinfactory, etc.
