Well you can use rice, red/regular potatoes, oatmeal for carbing up on. What are you doing anayway?

Oh and I love sweet potatoes/yams, so IMO you're weird...LOL!!!!!!!!

don't do the pizza before...from my experiance, go with the steak, still with no added sugars or sauces.... no fries either because ur body has been in starvation mode or atleast close to it, and with the water depletion and salts as well ur body will try to soak up those extra trans fats.....go with sweet potatoes or regular potatoes... dont do sweets that night, the next day buy jelly bellies and have sum pop diluted in water with honey and during the coarse off the day sip and eat on those for energy and to keep up mentally, pizza right after the comp bro...itll be the sweetest taste well deserved... good luck

Everyone has their won way to fill out before a show. As an example at my last show Cormier ate chinese, and I stuck with burgers and fries. The key is NO WATER!

So what weight class are ya in?
