Should you eat before a basketball game?

Answer 1

Before playing Basketball, eating a light meal of fruits, nuts, and protein will be beneficial to the player. A person should make sure to stay hydrated. Hydration is very important therefor should be done before, during, and after playing any sport.

Answer 2

A quick apple would be good, however, the sugar in apples will spike the blood glucose levels and be used up very rapidly resulting in a "sugar high" and then a sugar low in a short span of time resulting in loss of energy.

It is best to feed them a meal consisting of both long chain and short chain carbohydrates. The short chain carbs provide a source of immediate energy, and the long chain cards provide a "sustained" release of energy.

short chain carbs would be like what would be a great salad (add apple chunks and nuts), and add in a fantastic long chain carbs source like sweet potato...Sweet potato with cinnamon, and honey is AWESOME!

Restrict protein intake prior to the game, but have a meal of a pure protein source immediately after the game to give the body the materials it needs to begin rebuilding
