I load up on beans, onions, garlic, and burritos !

Occasionally I'll have a Chimichanga.  Then I can give Dutch Ovens!

You never want too much junk in the trunk.

well hydrated - you want to make sure you drink plenty of water.  The last thing you want is to show up for a date in a dehydrated state.

I always eat light on hobby days.  I avoid red meet and high fat foods as they have an adverse effect on blood flow.  This may not be an issue for younger guys but it makes a big difference for me.  I also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

No garlic, onions, or fish oil the day before or of.  Mashed potatoes and a plain chicken breast about 3 hours before is very stomach friendly for me and I never run out of energy.
