How do I eat if I have two games in one day during a tournament?

Great questions and parents are always looking for the right foods to fuel their children with before games or matches. Here are my suggestions.
Breakfast: Between 9-10 am and nice blend of complex carbs, lean protein, and a little healthy fat. Here are some examples. I don't know your kid’s food preferences but will give you a few examples to choose from.
1) 1-2 Whole Eggs (Eggland's Best or Nature's Harmony as they have more Omega 3) (if they want 1 egg, add 2 egg whites as well)
1/2 cup of oatmeal (Can add ground cinnamon and splenda for added taste) or 1 packet of Quaker Weight Control (it's low in sugar)
1 cup or piece of fresh fruit
1 piece of turkey sausage or 2 pieces of Center Cut Bacon
** If they are not a fan of oatmeal - use 2 slices of 100% whole wheat toast with a little real butter (1 tsp on each)
Hydrate with water
2) 2 slices of wheat toast with Natural P
