Can your diet the day before a race affect your performance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Carbohydrate loading- can place extra glycogen in your muscles and may improve performance. On the flip side, if your muscles are deplete of glycogen from a low carbohydrate diet the day before, it might lessen your performance.
