i know there are similar threads, but i wanted to make my own. won't be fighting til at least October, but i already know that i am going to have to cut it really close to get down to 165. i am walking around now at 170-175 but I only have 4% body fat already (just had my body comp taken- its actually a little under 4%) and live a monk-like lifestyle, so its gonna have to get really serious. let me just request in advance that we stay on topic. i don't want to hear any suggestions to fight at 178...
so.... what would you recommend to eat that can refuel the body, after the weigh-in, that will get energy back up to its highest potential, and not create digestion/stomach aches before a fight. you figure you have at least 3 hours to digest and nerves will probably make me have to poop anyway which i will do right before the fight...
here are my thoughts on some possibilities:
1) lots of water obviously as i'll have to be dehydrated to make weight
2) grilled chicken salad
3) banana
4) apple with peanut butter
5) protein bar (i like power crunch) or muscle milk
obviously not all of these at once, but any combination thereof that i see fit (i.e. water, chicken salad and banana)...
your thoughts on those suggestions and/or your own suggestions....?!?!?
