I go light on breakfast. Sometimes it's a yogurt, but a lot of times it's leftovers from one of my wife's dinners.
I don't get too fussy about food around games. It is more just a case of making sure I get some fuel on board. But I quite enjoy poached eggs and toast in the morning so I often go for that before training.
For food to be romantic, it should be light. Too many times people plan a romantic meal, and the food is too heavy.
They want to go to the bar and eat a few snacks, have a couple of cocktails or glasses of wine, and go home. People don't sit down at the table and have a whole three or four courses.
I love to eat cucumber sticks with yogurt. It's a great snack to have at home, especially when I'm having house guests.
Never eat less than four hours before boxing. Then eat only lightly.
I would serve a selection of cakes, scones, and small sandwiches for afternoon tea. High tea is usually served between 5 P.M. and 6 P.M., replacing an evening meal - it is more substantial.
I don't always want a big meal after work - just some crisps and wine!
The ideal pre-show meal I think is pho, the Vietnamese soup. It's very light and good for you, and then the broth is great for the throat.
There are many things to admire about Japan but this is the one thing I love the most and probably the only time I eat breakfast. Fish, eggs, soup, salad, veggies; all in the tiniest bites. It's a full meal, but it's so refreshing.
Everyone loves a long, slow-cooked stew and with gorgeous roasted vegetables. However, sometimes if you want something light, nothing beats a crispy duck salad.
I usually run in the morning and like to have something substantial but light to eat before and after. My go-to choices are either a banana with almond butter or a smoothie.
I like to keep Valentine's dinner light so you don't crash after and can keep the fun going through the night!
