The key element is to understand that if you are training
hard and racing you can basically eat whatever you want BUT if you want to be a champion it is better to put foods in your body that will give the edge and avoid the peaks and troughs
associated with making uneducated food choices.
Drivers want to be trim and lean, muscular without being too bulky. I have been consulting with a good friend of mine (a sports dietitian) to get the best advice for you and your eating habits for racing.
Here is a general example of a meal plan for F1 drivers:
Breakfast: Cereals and fruit
Morning Snack: Fruits and protein
Lunch: Pasta and a tomato based sauce
Afternoon Snack: Fruit and dry cereals (like a cereal bar)
Dinner: A really light meal for example fish served with vegetables (steamed) or something like spinach that has loads of fantastic vitamins.
Understanding what to eat for performance will give you the edge and lead to peak
performance for motorsport. Remember your brain is your biggest and most powerful
muscle, it needs loads of energy. If you do not fuel yourself correctly your brain is deprived
of energy and as a result you are unable to make the split second decisions, your reaction
times increase, and your concentration decreases.
