Hi all,

During the morning I'd start with a good wholesome cereal. Weetabix or something similar. Have a banna and some fruit.

At 11 0r 12 some scrambled eggs are a great source of energy.

Some pasta as the main meal. Some lean beef mince may be helpful.

And one or two hours before I'd eat some bananas, some jelly etc.

I've heard a lot of people suggest pasta quite a few hours before sports as it provides a lot of good energy, without any type of sugar high... Anything with some good complex carbs will be decent..

Hatton has a big english breakfast was fried sausages and bacon and eggs, so I suppose having something you enjoy and keeps you relaxed and zoned in might be okay if you think you're going to be very nervous all day...

I would probably struggle to eat anything the night of a fight, but I would force something good in there so I don't run out of Energy.

Drinking a lot of water throughout the day will be a BIG help as well... When I was training very hard and eating well, one thing that really helped my training at one stage was staying very hydrated throughout the day.. I got a lot less tired, and my muscles had less fatigue.. Don't drink to much before the fight though or you'll have to pee or feel bloated.

Good point Diz, hydration is as importanbt as nutrition.

I find loading up on real energy the day before is great, supplementing this with carbs on the day results in the "voom." youu're looking for oin fight day.

Donny has pretty much summed it up to be honest, as fight time approaches bananas are a must but another thing I like to eat is jaffa cakes, they are brilliant as a source an energy booster.
