      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Pre-match eating is less about finding a magic meal and more about avoiding common errors. Eating too close to kick-off, eating foods that are unfamiliar or high in fat and fibre, or skipping the pre-match meal entirely because nerves suppress appetite, all of these are more damaging than any specific food choice."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Post-match nutrition is where amateur players most consistently fall short, often because the social element of team sport takes priority. There's nothing wrong with that."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
