Light units: You can work on light food until you reach the point of exertion. Nevertheless, you should be careful and provide yourself with good nutrition.
Avoid fiber 3 hours before the session.
Now it depends.
Basic training: Drink 30g of slow carbohydrates with 500-750ml in one hour. Avoid insulin.
