Do I need to eat a decent amount of carbs a day before a football match? I’m currently dieting down, and I find it easiest to cut carb…
Currently I’ve been eating a decent amount of carbs on the day of my football matches, but also the day before – in attempt to provide me with enough energy to perform well. Could I just carb up the day of my football match?

the day before would work to restore the glycogen in your muscles prior to the game - if you do day of, you'll be starting at a deficit2
