Getting Ready, The Night Before Sport

The night before sport
The night before a sporting event is the time to
ensure that the young sports player in your family
has a meal containing carbohydrate rich foods
including rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, fruit and
vegetables. Protein rich foods such as meat, seafood,
eggs, chicken, legumes or dairy foods are also
necessary.
Plenty of fluids – water, milk or fruit juice – to
ensure a good state of hydration, is essential. Often
this meal is Friday night's dinner, which for many
families is a busy time. If so, keep the meal simple
and include convenient processed foods from the
pantry with fresh products to produce healthy
fitness foods fast.

Recipes in this book were tested using a fan forced oven and provide for flexibility in cooking time, since ovens can vary slightly from one manufacturer to another. Using a non-fan forced oven, the cooking time needs to be extended around 5-10 minutes or the oven temperature raised by 10 C. Most of the recipes have a variable time suggested to allow for this variation. Always preheat the oven to the temperature specified as the first step. Recipes in this book are for a 750 watt microwave oven. A higher wattage microwave oven will take less cooking time. Always check 1-2 minutes before time recommended. If necessary, microwave further in short intervals.
