What does everyone eat after weigh-ins? After cutting out carbs and being extremely dehydrated, what doesn't mess with your stomach?
curious to this as well
lots of water then on to anything you want to eat??
Spaghetti and meat sauce....
Whatever I fuckin want!
Almost anything goes if you eat just a little at a time. Tiny meals every 2 hours and you'll be fine.
The MMA Girls vid w/ Joe Daddy was also very good.
LOL bootsy.....thats usually the day after the fight..
yeah i assumed pasta but any other tricks?
Everyone is different. Some need to be very careful. Others can pig-out.
Your stomach is very sensitive when it is "starvation mode". Always be careful. Last thing you want is a case of the shits 1 day out of a fight.
thats why i ask
I'm pretty sure its the same for bodybuilders.
One of my good friends was a pro bodybuilder and backstage, we'd have white rice, yams, potato and chicken breasts ready for him to go before he passed out

Steak and chicken?
Seamus619 - Steak and chicken?
Steak is a bit hard on the stomach usually after cutting weight. Some tolerate it better than others though. I think chicken or fish is the best bet to start with. :)
Im pretty no. 1 is replace to electrolytes, so sip on some pedialyte (sp? - i cant get it in Aus)
- then a protein shake with a 2-3:1 ratio carbs:protein using WMS as the carb source
- then some fruit to tell the body to get out of ketosis, refill liver glycogen & youre going to use carbs as fuel now (learnt that from a BBer)... then start the carbs from low-gi to high gi
-then carb up, low-gi to high-gi in small amounts, every 2 hours & keep drinking
Theres plenty of basic tips like dont eat anything you've never tried or introduce new foods in the week of the fight (including post-weigh in) & make sure you cook all your meals.
I watched mark munoz get 5+ plates at the buffett 2 weeks ago after weighins.... he was even eating sushi!
WEC 37: After the Weigh Ins
- combatlifestyle.com - CombatLifestyle Nightlife
After the water loss, many guys will just puke up whatever goes in, so they use lil sips until all is well in the gut. Then, a buffet is suggested. *Sorry if already posted, didnt read all posts....
PS Riggs and Horn have eaten fish in their room post weighins. The smell could kill.
The guy in MMA who has this shit down pat is fucking Nick Diaz bitches.
