Best Pre and During Round Snack

[Noonan1]

Please let me know what you think is the best thing to eat before and during a competitive round of golf.

I have been a big fan of a banana before and a protein bar during. The banana gives a good amount of energy without filling your stomach so you can still make a good shoulder turn. The protein bar is a great way to keep your energy going down the stretch.let me know if there is something better

A baguette or bread with something good on, apples, bananas or pears, water, some nuts to provide a bit of salt.

Depends on when your golfing really. But your about to do cardio and weigh training while golfing. So the best thing is to eat a balanced meal before hand, carbs, protein, and fats. I would also drink 2 cups of water an hour before hand to get hydrated, and then keep at least a bottle of water per 9 holes to drink. As with meals during the round, i would probably like celery and peannut butter, or a half a turkey sandwich.

Pint of Jim Beam, two Camels and a big bag of Perky Jerky. It's got what golfers crave.

Stretch you are the funniest guy haha.

Yeah a couple of beeries or even a JB and coke goes alright round the course. Biltong. my god it is the greatest thing ever invented, especially the stuff you buy from butchers, not the crap that comes in packets.

A bigmac meal before a hot round walking around in the sun. Just kidding but my friend did that last year and he sure did regret it b y the time we reached the turn.

I hate golfing hungry, and I hate golfing really full. I find Nature Valley bars and deli sandwiches work good for me.

I always keep some clif bars and granola in my bag, perfect to snack on while playing.

[Kieran123]

Several beers

Bananas are the best, IMO.  Ideally I would eat something filling an hour or two before going out, then not need anything until a few holes in.  The thing I find with bananas is that if you don't plan ahead and eat them before you get hungry again, it's too late.  They can keep you from getting hungry, but once you're there they don't help you back down.

Only problem is they get squished in my carry bag, so I more frequently carry Clif Bars.  They're pretty good, but I don't like to eat too many candy bars (which, while they have a bit of actual nutrition in them, is what snack bars really are).

Since I'm jap... for me it's Onigiri... and lots of water. It tastes really really good and gives you plenty of energy + carbs

Man I love Japanese food

[PaulMVR]

Medium rare rib-eye steak and lobster.

[Carts]

Sandwich, Protein bars or Ensure and water. I cant play hungry or thirsty so I always have some of these.

[Aquaguru]

Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame, Wasabi flavor

Great snack very low in fat and high in protein.  I always have a bag of it in my golf bag.

[GaijinGolfer]

Trail mix before the round and a bananna at the turn.

[Yukari]

For me, it is fruit (apple or banana), protein bars, nuts, and/or beef jerky.

I always have a banana at the turn or shortly there after.  Also have some combo of: pretzels, PB sandwich, nutri grain bar and large bottle of water.
