subject: How to Get Bigger for Football [print this page] This idea that football players need to load up on pancakes and pasta before a game is stupid. We are not endurance athletes. Frankly, I've played both ways, every play (except special teams, those guys are insane) for a full 3-hr game while eating less than 30g of carbs. Fat is the better source of fuel. Leave the carbs to the cross country boys.
