I play soccer, and I always had this question in mind. I play fine with either an empty stomach and a full stomach, but what about yall? I guess playing on a full stomach would give you cramps while you play, and with an empty stomach you could lose stamina quickly.

[vanalla]

half full, like eat maybe a snack or so, no sugar tho, but if you wanna be hyper during a game...it works well

[supa'Wanki]

You never want to play in an empty or Full stomach. Just enough to take you throughout the game. Just eat spagetti before a game. And drink not too much water, just about a bottle of water(not chugged) before the game.

[mistapooh]

What are you eating btw? Carbs fuel you during games so pasta, bread, or rice is all good.

[vondunker]

i used to play with empty stomach (for basketball) but it isnt good as i went panting after a short while . . however if i had a GOOD meal 3 hours before, i can run very well for full match.

[InSong]

eat a snack and never eat a full meal.

[Malice_Kaiser]

I haven't played actual sports aside from PE class in years. But back when I did, I would always eat. Playing with a full stomach never bothers me or makes me sick or anything. As for cramps, I get those if I don't eat. Food just gives me more energy.

[WorldWarHulk]

Pasta one hour before playing anything

[boka]

i dont have much stamina unless i have a light meal with complex carbs about 45 minutes before i start doing anything - it's supposed to be two hours before exercise, but for some reason i find 45 minutes is good for me... i feel a bit weak and tired if i don't

[bana]

I always eat after I play sport

[fluffpuff]

it's better if you were to eat something light before playing any sort of sports. like a banana or an energy bar.

[lovablekrnstar63]

i play waterpolo so i don't know if it's diffnt from the land sports
but i eat about 3 hrs before practice/games

[tnguyet]

i used to play basketball and still do on occassions and i would have to say that its best not to play with a full stomach but rather you should eat a little snack or something before playing

[Koreanbabo]

Never play on an empty stomach because you won't have the energy to perform well. However that doesn't mean be playing anything with a full stomach because you don't want to be throwing up all over the ground. Like everyone stated here already, keep water to a minimum and have something to eat, just not so filliing, prefarably a piece of fruit or a small sandwich. Its best to stay with food that are high in carbohydrates, to give you quick, needed energy

[Hunnytokki]

yeah, eat an hour before, and dont drink too much of anything right before you play. you can hear it gurgling in your stomach...i felt nauseous if I ate anything sweet before I played soccer. Idk why.

[cyberfruit]

I usually snack by eating candy and drinking powerade for swimming because I'm always put in short swims that require quick bursts of energy (50 Free, 100 Free, 200 Relay, etc.).

I don't eat anything before I go to Karate because it's early in the morning and I don't want to eat ^^;.

[x SaRaNg HaE x]

I always need something in my stomach before I play.
If you end up throwing up, it's better throwing up something than stomach acid.

[joonage]

For basketball, I usually go to the bathoom before a game.

Then I drink about a half a bottle of water (drink not chug) before the game.

For track and field, being a thrower and not having to run, except for javelin, I usually eat a small sandwich or some trail mix.

[xmichelle]

I'm usually neutral. Not hungry/not full
Sometimes, if I eat too much before I play a sport, I get too sluggish and tired

Also, I get thirsty easily, and I pretty much chug the drinks, which are ice cold, and then I get a stomachache.

[keauxz]

Gaterade really works well haha
