What do you like to eat before a tournament? The pro's all seem to have a different answer for this one. In order to prevent mental sluggishness I am sure having a low carb, high protein diet would help mental focus. Is it usually breakfast foods or lunch before a tourney; do you snack on your breaks?

I play live poker while on vacation, so I usually have an omelet with home fries for breakfast, then play.

Before the game, the main thing is not to overeat because you may want to sleep :)
In general, before a game I eat what I have in the fridge, I don't have a special diet. During the game, I often eat fruit, drink tea, coffee, and eat sweets.

I like to cook, but I usually don't have time for it, so I eat whatever my girlfriend makes. She always cooks what I like. And during the game, if she's at home, she'll do whatever I ask :)

Your proposal is not bad, but on a professional level the diet starts from breakfast. In my case, it's not something I get used to other than everyday life...

I like to eat beer :)
In general, I eat whatever my wife cooks, she always cooks very well. Otherwise, I risk walking around with a broken head.
