And then maybe an hour before the match a weight gainer shake with full cream milk. More water & sports drink an hour-30min before with some creatine.
And 10minutes before a No Xplode.

You're crazy. Nadal doesn't eat anything like that. In his blogs, he's very colorful about his food choices. He usually cooks it himself and he's big on seafood (especially foods such as salmon that are high in protein and good fats) and pasta.

I remember Vilas would eat a lot rare prime rib the night before a match. there is no real "formula" to "eat" your way to winning.

Are you kidding me?? Pro athletes' diets are all engineered and carefully monitored. They eat balanced diets that are high in protein, good fats, whole grains, tons of vegetables and before matches they eat easily digestable carbohydrates for quick energy. You're comparing a generation of people that didn't even concern themselves with nutrition.

"He eat's shi* like you for breakfast."

I'm not sure about before a match, but I remember him eating a banana in the middle of his match with Federer in Wimbledon.

Ok, tell that to Dominik Hrbati.

Freaky, i know...

He learned that when he was a kid, from watching too much Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Doom (1984)!

No, I am pretty sure it's not a laxative, but it's the type of underwear he has on.

It's not really the regular type of pasta you buy at the stores; it's a special orange brand called Pasta a la Duralast, 15L (1.35).

[fridrix]

Nadal has been quite forthcoming in some of his interviews. I remember he likes chocolate croissants.

[robbie_mx]

This is what he eat before each game it's similar to the energy drinks but with caffeine and carbs
I saw rafa eating 2 products

This is the most common gel for sport guys


But If my eyes don't lie now Rafa use this product:

www.powerbar.com

But also he eat Pasta before each game maybe 2 pound of pasta...
why ? it's the best food for athlets have fast carbs that they need in the game.

[bchamaki]

Oh yea those little packets are filled with rusty nails. His stomach is filled with so much acid that he doesn't need to crap, the metal just melts in his blood.

[Noveson]

A cow. A whole cow.

[IanRadical]

Pasta and slow release energy food like bananas

[LafayetteHitter]

[ladorasi]

He eat Agel FLX, to help provide the lubrication, cushioning and natural maintenance that joint flexibility requires...

[raygo]

Four croissants.
