You may be so dazzled by your triple-jump time you forget lunch. Don't, and don't rely on a sports nutrition supplement.

Performance in moderate-to-high intensity exercise of 35-40 minutes duration was better when a meal was eaten 3 hours before exercise than when the previous meal was 6 hours before exercise, in a study in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition. The meal used in the study's sports nutrition diet was moderate to high carbohydrate, low fat, and low protein. Don´t skip meals before competition or training.
