jonny Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey all, This weekend I am playing in a two-day volleyball tournament. I will be on day 13 and 14 of my first Whole30 and I would appreciate an suggestions for eating throughout the day. Generally the format for these tournaments is pool play starting at 9:00 with a 1hr-1.5 hr break for lunch around 12:00 followed by tournament play which can last until 7 pm. During pool play we will play 2 games against each team which last about 45 min per match. Sometimes you get a break between matches during pool play but it's pretty common to play one of the matches back to back. After lunch we just play matches with a short break of 10-45 min between until we win. I'm on day 8 today. I feel good when I'm not working out but I still am experiencing low energy during my volleyball training sessions and when I run. I know this will pass but as everyone knows it's a bit of a crap shoot as to when. in general I've been upping my intake of starchy vegetables during my 3 main meals. Dinner before the tournaments and for breakfast I was planning on having a pretty big protein and starchy veg meal with regular portion of fats. I have to drive an hour to where the tournament is played so I'll probably have about 2 hours between when I eat breakfast and when pool play starts. I was planning on eating a couple hard boiled eggs and avocado for the "pre-workout" meal but I'm not sure how to manage the rest of the day. I would really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Physibeth Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So it sounds like you are planning to eat your first meal around 7am correct? I would make it a big one and that far before workout probably ok to include starchy vegetable. You probably won't need the initial pre-workout meal but I think bringing a very large compliant lunch and a lot of protein/fat snacks to have between matches will probably do you well through out the day. Have your meal 3 with lots of starchy vegetables. This is what I would probably do but others might chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks Physibeth. So starchy veggies day before or a couple of hours before athletic activity and after. Focus on protein and fat for lunch and mid day snacks. I am planning on bringing some Applegate sliced turkey, hardboiled eggs, and nuts for snacks. My lunch was going to be a big portion of chicken salad with avocado and some veggies. I appreciate the feedback. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Double check your sliced turkey. I've looked at that brand and every time I see carrageenan in the ingredients list. On additional thought, you might want to have a couple of carb sources on hand just in case you experience a blood sugar drop. Better to be prepared with compliant sources of that instead of having an emergency and getting something not compliant fed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks Physibeth! Looks like I'll go with the Roast Beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
