Question
I have my first fight tommorow night in Miami Beach. What is a good diet the night before the fight and the day of the fight?

Answer
Well this is somewhat of a broad question because I do not know if you made the required weight limit.  Assuming you have then the day of the fight believe or not a little secret that I use is to consume the baby drink of pedialyte for your liquid.  Also stay away from sugar as much as possible.  Do not overstuff yourself the day of the fight and consume things that don't require a long digestion period.  I personally like seafood and a small amount of pasta to achieve your carbohydrates for the energy that you need.  Diets before the fight should be that of high protein.  Allot of meats and green vegetables.

Good Luck,

Joe
