Breakfast of Champions

**doofaloofa** · Posted On: 6/30/2011 4:43am

I am off fighting at the weekend. I am a green horn when it comes to competition and I am looking for advice from the seasoned competitors in relation to what to eat pre fight.
Here is my menu so far:

Breakfast- 2 eggs, fried, two kippers, coddled in pittas bread

Snacks- lots of fruit

Lunch- kipper in pittas

Dinner- If I do well, Steak, if I tank, Crow pie ;)

I dont want to puke on the mats, but I dont want to come over all weak and feeble either.

The Breakfast of Champions is...SEX.

Not that I would know (I'm a desperate man).

Where's the Soda Bread? Potato Bread? Buttermilk? Black Pudding? White Pudding? Fried Bread? Where's the fecking TEA???

Don't forget the Red Lemonade and Taytos when you need that vital snack.

Doof i can't make the comp this weekend now... which is a complete pisser, I was hoping to roll with you at some point:) I hyper extended two fingers on my left hand in gi training to almost breaking point. Gripping is impossible so competing this weekend is out the window. Might see you at the nationals in a couple of months though, good luck and let me know how you get on.

You might be waiting a long time for your fight to happen and if you win you could end up back on the mats within 15 minutes (depending on your division). This was a problem for some guys at the nationals last year who didn't bring enough carbs with them, I'd say pack an energy drink and some flapjacks for slow release energy just to be on the safe side.

Re the 'breakfast of champions'... if you want a portion of gyno with the kippers then don't forget the dianabol

The wife went away today to visit the outlaws. I'll have to make up with my right hand. Is it not traditional to refrain from...intercourse... before battle? Conserve budo etc.

As to ethnicity, I'm more bubble and squeek and spotted dick (though the Dr gave me a cream for it)

I could never eat a cooked breakfast the day of a comp. I normally eat nothing for breakfast. Maybe a banana after weigh ins.

I never cease to be amazed at how appetizing you Brits make your food sound.

Don't forget weigh ins are pretty much at registration when you arrive and are in gi. So if you find out you're not on the mats for a couple of hours hold off the big breakfast until after you weigh in;) Check the weight categories in the link I gave you, it's a little late for cutting but you might be able to drop a couple of pounds if you're on the border line between divisions. Good luck!
