I have an audition today, what food/drink will keep my energy up?

Question

I'm doing 2 extremely tiring routines...should I go buy some Gatorade or Powerade? What one is better?

Answer 1

I use Gatorade for competitions, when I need to dance round after round after round... I don't know if Gatorade is better than Powerade. I'd take one will less sugar and more minerals. I also bring cereal bars to competitions. Cereal bars, Gatorade and water is pretty much all I eat until the dancing is over. Fruit is dangerous for me to eat during the competition or performance, it can make me feel heavy. I eat it in the morning, well before the dancing starts. Energy drinks don't make me sleepy, provided all the additional excitement of the competition. Do stay away from energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster or coffee - the exessive amount of caffeinge will make you jittery at first, and then your energy will drop down like a rock at the worst possible moment.

Answer 2

Eat lots of fruit, a good lunch & dring plenty of water to help mantain energy level these won't make you tired if you are waiting for a long audittion. Maybe fruit juice is alright but don't drink energy drinks etc cause these make you sleepy & worn out in few hours.

Answer 3

Either will hydrate you--buy the one you like the taste of best. For endurance you need a snack of protein--cheese, turkey, etc. For a last-minute burst of energy a candy bar with either peanut butter or nuts (but wait until the end of the day or you'll crash and burn before you finish your second routine.)

Answer 4

Bananas and water... Gatorade and Powerade are not all they're cracked-up to be!

Answer 5

if you like it - a bowl of oatmeal.
