What should I eat before a rugby session?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I train a lot for rugby but sometimes I get a stitch and sometimes I feel like I haven't had enough. What food (and how much) should I eat before a regular 2 hour rugby session

Lots of complex carbs. I sail competitively and the diet should be similar. Before a sailing race I'd Allways have a tub of cold pasta for carbs and long term energy. Don't eat too close to the match I used to add steak to the pasta (just chopped into chunks) for muscle gain and muscle repair. Banana are really good before a game too, i swear by them. Towards the end for last burst of energy you would need somthing that releases energy quicker like a mars bar.

energy bar

definitely a couple servings of fruit or something with short term energy. like a granola bar or something. not carbs. carbs are long term energy.
