Food to bring to a track meet?

Question

Every Thursday and some Saturdays I have a track meet. What are some good snacks and food to bring because we usually stay there for about 6 hours?

Answer 1

I would take a small cooler with a variety of things. However, don't bring anything that will be too heavy on your stomach.

Examples of good things to bring (not all of these at once!):
sandwich
pretzels
fruits (apple, banana, orange, grapes. lots of this)
granola bars
gatorade or other sports drink
water
jolly ranchers
twizzlers
gum
sunflower seeds

Things to avoid:
items with dairy (milk, yogurt)
soda
juice
sugary items
chocolate

Answer 2

fruit granola bars not the chocolate chip cheap type the kidies take for snack time and not power bars [2 many cals andfat not good for u] but the ones that are basically trail mix in bar form and gatorade or poweraid go for juicier fruits like melons and kiwi instead of apples

Answer 3

If you aren't doing the running, but just feeding the crowd, here are some thoughts:

1. Grilled chicken legs and thighs
2. Chicken Tortilla Vegetable soup
3. Cole Slaw
4. Ham and brie sandwiches on focacia
5. Tortilla rollups with garlic and chive cream cheese and
thinly sliced roast beef
6. Beefsteak tomatoes with mozarella slices and vinegrette
7. Carrot and celery stix with peanut butter or cheese
8. Cupcakes, cookies, brownies
