"I have worked with an athlete who prefers two boiled eggs with peanut butter toast and a coffee, an athlete who prefers an acai bowl and sauteed veggies, and an athlete who orders two breakfast sandwiches and tater tots," she told HuffPost.
"What I've found is that many athletes have an established game day meal plan," Dunn said. In her experience, most athletes eat the same breakfast before every competition.
"The contrasting characteristics of athlete breakfasts are heavily influenced by personal preferences and diets, the amount of time between eating and the following training session, body composition and sport," she said.
"Game day is not the day to try new foods. Additionally, having a consistent breakfast routine can help professional athletes feel more mentally prepared for the day ahead."
