Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Raphael's best pre-game food choice would be a breakfast of whole-grain pancakes and 16 ounces of orange juice at 7:30 A.M. This breakfast provides a good source of carbohydrates, which are important for fueling physical activity, as well as fluid to ensure hydration. A snack of a banana, small box of raisins, and sports drink at 10:00 A.M. can also help provide additional energy and hydration before the game. Avoid high-fat or high-sugar foods, such as ice cream with hot fudge sauce, which can cause digestive discomfort and may not provide sustained energy for the game.
