On contest day, what are your eating habits like for lunch and dinner?

Have you waited until after your contest to eat the big meal?

I learned the hard way back in '85. HURL'D luckily I was out of the arena and outta sight. I never eat big if I plan on dancin' hard (is there any other way as a FFd).
Small amounts.
Plenty of Carbs & soduim(sunflower seeds, powdered doughnuts, frybread, chips, Honey Buns, etc) you know real healthy stuff.
Tons of liquids.
The hard part is the feeds are usually kickin' .
Sometimes its hard to eat light.
But you gotta be tough to FFD anyhow. If you get neverous I bet it adds to it. I am never get nervous (gotta be in the running to be nervous, haha)

I hardly eat before a dance......contest or not ! Drink lots of water ! Stretch a bit.....take time getting dressed ( so you don't fall apart ) Eat big when it's done !

Hey,

I eat regularly before contest. I would be more afraid that changing my eating habits would wind up with problems during the contest. I try to avoid foods I know are going to give me gas or make me go to the bathroom more.

Best thing to do is to set your body to a schedule. Eat regularly and visit the bathroom in the morning. If you can get into that habit you should have no problems dancing. Thats my theory.
