Meat: 2-3 hours. Carbs, starches: 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours. Fruits and Veggies: 1/2 – 1 hour. The issue is the stomach should be empty. Food in the stomach can reduce range of motion and reduce energy level, which can adversely effect your strength & stamina as well as your ability to concentrate. Now you know the issues, knowing the expediency of your own digestive system, you can make your own decisions. After practicing, before eating: I’m not sure. I’ve heard 1/2 hour, which makes sense to me.
