64. Is it okay to eat a larger evening meal the night before a big competition?

Fuelled with Dr Gemma Sampson

In this episode of 'Ask a Sports Dietitian,' Gemma responds to Clare's question about whether it's effective to eat a larger evening meal before a big event if a big breakfast is challenging. Gemma emphasizes the importance of optimising nutrition at various key time points, including the night before and the morning of the race. She discusses the significance of trial and error to find what works best for each individual and highlights different nutritional strategies, such as liquid fuels and low-fibre cereals, for those with low morning appetite or pre-race nerves.
