The goal is boring energy
The best pre-ranked meal is not a stunt. It is a familiar combination of protein, carbohydrates, color, and enough time to digest before the queue pops.
Build the plate
- Start with a palm-sized protein such as chicken, tofu, eggs, or Greek yogurt.
- Add an easy carbohydrate you already tolerate: rice, oats, potatoes, fruit, or bread.
- Keep very heavy fats and unfamiliar spice for a session where your rank is not on the line.
Your 90-minute loadout
Eat a normal meal roughly 60–120 minutes before play. Keep water nearby and treat caffeine as a tool, not the foundation of the build.
Consistency beats novelty. The meal you can repeat is the one that belongs in your loadout.
If you are still hungry ten minutes before queueing, choose a small, low-mess top-up such as a banana, yogurt, or toast rather than a second full meal.
