Why is it recommended to have a larger carbohydrate filled meal (Pasta) the day before a tournament or activity and not on the day of? What are some of the specific reasons when you look at digestion time, energy available, and energy usage? Help me pls
Ill give you 30 points

when you engage in long, intense athletic events, your body needs extra energy to keep going. The purpose of carbohydrate loading is to give you the energy you need to complete an endurance event with less fatigue, improving your athletic performance.

Explanation:

If the pre-workout meal has not been digested, it will not provide 'fuel' for the session. That's why you do it a day before.
