Singers out there!

What is the best diet for a singer?
I have a performance on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and I need to do my best to conserve my voice and have a very healthy diet.
I'm going to try to cut out caffeine these next few days. Caffeine dries out your voice. I'm trying to cut out caffeine as a staple (for good) but it will take time.
I will also not be eating dairy or citrus this week as they cause flegm.
I will drink plenty of water and herbal tea with honey and lemon.
What else can I do!?

You've pretty much got it. Lots of water, citrus helps clear out the mucus if you need that, no caffeine and no chocolate (at least not right before the performance) and no milk either. Just keep chugging the water and make sure you get enough cals to have the energy to get through!!!

Good carbs like fruits and veggies and plenty of protein! Break a leg!!!!!
