Day 7/7 — game day meals
For the last day, I’ll do it a little different:
Today was my game day so i thought I’d share my game day meals and my thoughts about them.
Breakfast: I had my breakfast around 4 hours before puck drop:
-mixed berries
-granola
-yoghurt
It was a big meal, with some good foundational energy.
Pre game snack:
Apple sauce.
I had this around 75-65 mins before puck drop.
This one’s a favorite since it’s very quick to consume and gives you some quick absorbing sugars.
The game was a good one, I felt light on my feet.
Didn’t feel sluggish at all, tho could’ve been a little more physical. So I think the meals worked for me in terms of fueling.
If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
Post game (~30 mins after):
Protein chocolate milk.
This one is just great for my recovery, and chocolate milk is such a great post game or workout drink.
When I got home (~50 mins after):
I had the same yoghurt bowl as breakfast, I did swap the mixed berries for cherries. That is another good one for recovery.
Dinner: For dinner I had a burger (made from ground beef) with baked potatoes and some 🥬 .
What surprised me this week is;
I eat fairly clean, but my hydration is still something I want to work on.
Also my at school food isn’t as good as the other meals.
My energy levels got influenced positively after meals, and I noticed that my energy was lower when i didn’t eat enough.
I think almost every meal made me feel good, the only one that felt a bit worse was the pancakes.
One change about my eating habits:
Eat even more, especially at school!
What’s one specific goal you want to work on moving forward?
I want to work on getting 2200-3000 calories in consistently, to get bigger.
Also hydrating more throughout the day.
I am really proud of my choises I make in terms of nutrition. Not just this week but every week and day.
I think I really make the best choises that lay in my control, but there’s still lots of knowledge to gain.
Thanks for the challenge,
Jelle
