I have a swim comp tomorrow, I want to make sure I have enough energy for what will be a massively exerting day.

Would eating as close to maintenance as possible be a good idea?

    I would eat at least 1.5x your maintenance, but not with heavy foods.

    Sounds like a good plan to me - just make sure you eat things that you usually eat, you don't want to have too much or too rich a meal and feel nauseous tomorro!
