lol...okay guys...so could yall give me some ideas...my last competition, I wasnt as full as I could have been...found this out the next day..when I looked amazing! ..lol...but im thinking I want that amazing look ON the stage this time around...so I have been researching my ASS off...

Here is what Im thinkin about:

**Cheesecake (really thick, wholesome..it has the fat and carbs)..about 20-30min before I hit the stage
**Gatorade (has the electrolytes, carbs, and a lil water..that way im not gettin too much water)....sip on slowly through out the day
**Regular meals...chicken...nibble on some rice cakes??..Im having more difficulty thinkin about my meals inbetween prejudging and the night show...its not so difficult for pump-up and right before I hit the stage...I gotta stay lean all damn day....ugh...

what do you guys think? What did you guys eat?

[alygrrl]

I say go for the cheesecake - perfect amount of fat and carbs to make you full!
I are potatoes and chicken and I was flat for my show, I wish I would have taken the cheesecake route!

[MuscleMama87]

I did mostly clean carbs but also threw in some protein bars, reese cups and PB&J rice cakes

You say you looked amazing AFTER your last show...well, what did you do that made your body respond?...Do that

I think a lot of athletes look better the next day. It is so hard to get it exactly bang on without the risk of spilling over.

Yes, everyone looks better at the night show and best the next morning. It is the nature of the beast. But, judges know this.

I loaded on rice cakes and pb and j. I also sipped grape juice.

I have been wondering this too! Keep the ideas coming. Last time with Crazy Trainer I ate just a bit of chicken in between the pre judging and night shows. I also ate candy corn backstage. It made me bounce off the freakin walls. I had to do a routine for the night show and I was much more energetic!

I am worried about bloating up if I eat that junk the day of the show.....

[MuscleMama87]

lol..I know right!!! Thats what I did my last competition..I ate some, but I def didnt eat enough..so this time around imma force myself...lol..

Okay so this is what im taking:

1. Salt-Free Rice Cakes
2. Chicken Breast
3. Cheesecake
4. Gatorade

What do you gals think????

Sounds good to me...Just nibble slow so you can see the effect on your body BEFORE you spill
