\u201cThat\u2019s all I need,\u201d he said after the waffle delivery.<\/p>\n
The clip garnered nearly 7 million views on TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unique snacks are part of a long tradition of athletes experimenting with different refueling options during games. From Marshawn Lynch\u2019s trademark Skittles to Jay Ajayi drinking pickle juice to prevent cramping<\/a>, players across all sports have searched for the right in-game fuel.<\/p>\n Anaheim Ducks nutritionist Jillian Chaney said nutritional options for athletes have evolved significantly in recent years. Most professional franchises now employ full-time nutrition teams responsible for providing players with snack options during halftime, intermissions and throughout games.<\/p>\n \u201cNutrition is now a topic in athletics,\u201d Chaney said. \u201cReally seeing nutrition as a discipline in sports that can help athletes reach their potential, prevent injury, help an injury recovery and return to play. And how we take care of or don\u2019t take care of ourselves, from a nutrition standpoint, really does have an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n Chaney said she wouldn\u2019t recommend athletes eat a large plate of chicken and waffles, but noted that players often make personal decisions about the foods they prefer. It\u2019s the nutritionist\u2019s job to work with them by offering guidance on what best fuels their bodies and by personalizing each athlete\u2019s nutrition plan.<\/p>\n For hockey players, long games can also lead to experimenting with unusual drinks. Several players have been seen drinking soda during games. Chaney said she wouldn\u2019t recommend this because of the high sugar-to-water ratio, but she understands that some athletes \u2014 like boxer Floyd Mayweather, who drinks soda after most workouts \u2014 swear by their routines.<\/p>\n \u201c(Soda) actually can give you a really big boost, but then you\u2019ll crash quicker. That\u2019s why I think some guys, it\u2019s \u2014 they\u2019ve done it for years. It works for them. So I\u2019m not going to tell them not to do it, but I explain why it\u2019s maybe not the best hydration for you,\u201d Chaney said.<\/p>\n Other famous food breaks have gone viral, too. Former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was caught on camera eating a hot dog<\/a> with mustard during the middle of a blowout win. Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has said he keeps snacks like pancakes and pizza in his pockets<\/a> during games.<\/p>\n
