What do you eat while bowling?
« on: May 20, 2004, 06:46:44 AM »
Well, not while you are actualy throwing the ball... but do you eat snack bar food?  

At my last regional I crossed with Mike Edwards.  And to my surprise he was chewing on a protein bar mid-block (remember kids, 8 games is a long time to go without fuel).  I pretty much ALWAYS have protein bars in my 2003 Fire Red Durango SXT and I eat one every morning.  So when I bowl I can easily go to the Durango and pick up a bar to energy.  Excellent idea, by the way.

Food like nachos and pizza spike your sugar levels and eventually cause you to lose energy.  Not good fuel when you are trying to be in "sport form".  

So do you eat?  And what?

lots of water, and usually granola bars if in a long set.

Usually if have time, eat a small meal before bowling and then after have a larger meal.

I do not eat anything not a thing during bowling after or before is fair game.  Those of you that know me know I won't waste away even if I bowled for like a month straight.

I have dinner at home before bowling, eat Luna bars (it's another type of energy bar) during bowling with water, and have my one beer toward the end of the last game.

I try to eat at least an hour or two before bowling during league competition and only drink water during the league. Same for tournament bowling- but that can be hard if you are bowling all day in the same house and you aren't able to bring outside food into the building between meals. If I do have something to eat during bowling it is a sandwich that will be lighter on my stomach. Try to avoid sodas and candy bars during these times as well- because you may get a minor pick me up but then you'll get the mighty sugar rush fall...

I eat nothing before and during bowling. Only eat after. If I eat, it seems to effect my game. Especially if I over eat, which I usually do.

I always have a Hansens energy drink before I bowl, and never do I eat. And usually I drink water during the bowling.

In an eight game block I usually consume about 1.5 litres of water and an apple or a banana.

NEVER eat during bowling .. find that when I bowl more then 3/4 games I drink a lot of water. If I bowl after 6 PM I try to have dinner complete by 5:30 PM .. I'm not a BIG lunch fan so when I have afternoon bowling I hold off eating till DINNER!

If it's during league, often times i'll have the all-too-common popcorn and beer (mmm...Corona...).  If it's during a tournament, usually during the 6 game blocks at college tournaments, i'd drink a bunch of water, i'd usually go through the equivalent of about a bottle and a half per game, and if the stomach is really rumbling, i'll go find a granola bar or something else out of the vending machines.

I can't eat before or during bowling.  In the winter, I'll have coffee in the first game and water thereafter.  For the warmer months, just lots of water.  Sometimes I'll have a white wine spritzer.

I drink a ton of water and eat nothing.  I can't bowl near as good if I have food in my stomach.

I don't get to very often any more, but I LOVE greasy cheeseburgers and fries while I'm bowling.  Unfortunately, not too many bowling alleys have full service grills from the greasy spoon era anymore, so it's definitely a treat when I find one!
