If I'm playing in the morning I'll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I'm playing in the afternoon I'll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play so I don't feel sluggish or full.
The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I'd say a food mixer. I've never used it I don't really know what they're for.
If an animal does something we call it instinct if we do the same thing for the same reason we call it intelligence.
