2. LeBron’s Game Day Eating 

Preparing for a game day takes more than just training and conditioning; it takes mental focus and a specific diet to maintain an athlete like LeBron’s energy. By concentrating on providing LeBron with a diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrates, I create the following menu:

Morning Tipoff

To give LeBron the energy boost he needs to start the day, I make a breakfast that is high in carbohydrates and fruit:

Breakfast
  • Oatmeal with fresh berries
  • Whole wheat pancakes with turkey sausage
  • Orange juice, and a natural, fruit smoothie such as mango cream or blueberry super fruit

Midday, Metabolic Maintenance

On game day, the goal is to recharge and keep portions light in order to maintain LeBron’s metabolic balance, while also recharging the body:

Lunch

  • A mixed green salad with dried fruit and cucumbers
  • A half-sandwich with a side of fruit

Three Hours Before Game Time

In order to fuel up before making his way to the arena, LeBron eats a meal loaded with complex carbohydrates:

Dinner
  • Lean meat such as Chicken or Salmon
  • Brown Rice or Whole Wheat Pasta with Marinara Sauce

Final Game Time Prep

Focused on the game, LeBron meets with Mike Mancias to loosen up and shoot around on the court to get into the game time rhythm.  During this time, LeBron makes sure to stay hydrated and energized by drinking his favorite Vitamin Water and Smart Water.
