Hey i have a quick question. i’m currently involved in wrestling and i’m in the 125lbs weight class on varsity. i have NO clue how much calories i need. I have NO clue what i should be eating at the right time. I currently read your Grappler’s Guide to Sports Nutrition, which has given me some idea. Heres where i have trouble, my coach has me weigh in before practice and i normally weigh around 129-130 and i get done and i weigh 126.8. My problem is that i dont want to weigh 5lbs over or 4lbs over and rely on practice to get it off, its frustrating and makes me irriated and crabby all the time. i want to be able to maintain 124lbs so i’m not always jumping. I workout at 6:30-7:30 every morning before school then we have practice at 2:45-5:00. I have a match on Wednesday 12/10/08 i really want to be under. It would be a huge help if i had a sample menu of what i should be eating at what time.

Don’t stop eating! That is a critical mistake. You need to eat a higher number of calories, so when you go to practice, you can burn more fat rather than crucial muscle.
Well eat subs, I started at 130, just wrestled 125 varsity, and am moving down to 119 varsity, preferably whole wheat but not necessary buns, grilled chicken, and if you want some other stuff on there, I use pepper jack cheese, black olives, and jalapenos. That is after practice, before that I eat cheerios (I like the plain kind) and sometimes half a sub or a peanut butter sandwich. Only drink water, no gatorade or cokes. Propel is fine though. Also if your still over the day before me and a couple friends all went to the YMCA and hit the sauna for about 20 minutes. And I was about 3 pounds under.
This might be of help to you.Good luck anyways.
