Eating before the game

Last year I actually gained weight thru the season but this year I plan to take some fruit alon to eat on the way home. My problem was that by the time I got home, I was really hungry and so I'd over-eat and then head straight to bed. I've already began losing and want to stay disciplined during this season.

The same happened to me during the season and then I talked to one of the nutritionists at the school here and she said that I wasn't eating enough during the day. She recommended that I eat 6 times a day. I ate small portions nothing larger than the size of my fist. Three of the meals were breakfast, lunch, and supper, the other three were snacks (protien bar and apple etc...) She also recommended that I try to eat one protein and one carb per meal along with two vegetables and one good fat (cheese, salad w/ olive oil etc...), and a gallon of water per day. I dropped the weight like it was nothing. to help me out I made a sticky note everyday that looked like this:

PPPPPP CCCCCC VV F WWWWWWWW

The p=protein, c=carb, v=veggie, f=fat, w=water. AS I ate a protein I simply crossed it off, when I ate a veggie, I crossed a v off. It is real simple and easy to do.
