Food Theory: Can A Sandwich Make You A Better Athlete?

SUBSCRIBE for Every Theory! ►► bit.ly/2CdCooV
No, the title is not clickbait. Can a sandwich ACTUALLY make you a better athlete? Specifically, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When I found out that many NBA players ate a PB&J sandwich - PB&J adjacent item - before a game, I had to figure out WHY! Theorists, this goes beyond sports and nutrition. This is about validating all of the PB&J sandwiches I've eaten over my life. Get ready to play ball!

[@Jessie_Helms]

As soon as I heard “PB&J” I was like, “yeah, absolutely makes sense.” TL:DW Peanut butter is an extremely good source of protein and long-term energy, jelly and bread are great sources of sugar & short-term energy. Also, Matt didn’t mention it, but a PB&J is also a fairly light meal, so reduced risk of cramps compared to, say, pizza which would have a similar effect otherwise.

[@truekurayami]

The bread part of the brake down for short/long term energy is debatable in practice just because some breads lean more towards the complex/long-term side, though they are usually a "heavier" option but as a single sandwich or two that usually won't become a problem.

I have a question, I just ate some Dominos and on their box, they promote their cheese as the best part of their pizza to thank dairy farmers. I was wondering, is the cheese really the best part of pizza?

[@jaketaller8567]

That’s a very good question.

[@wmdkitty]

YMMV. I think the crust (chewy, plz!) is the best part, followed by the meat(s), sauce, and then the cheese is just there to hold it together.

[@wmdkitty]

@Average Cabbage Oh, but I would.

[@anthonynguyen1289]

It definitely depends on the pizza imo. I'd say Red Baron pizzas everything is top class on those to the point any of them can be enjoyed separately, but they're also great together. Some pizzas have really good crust and sauce, but bad cheese or some variant of this.

[@rimurutempest4945]

The pizza itself is the best part, a good pizza base can make or break the entire pizza experience. Everything else is literally toppings.

[@topherv7051]

For anyone who is planning on trying this, I’d recommend to toast the bread first. Toasting it makes it easier to digest, causing it to not sit in ur stomach. I made the mistake of not toasting it before a state track meet and had a slow race lmao!

Also toasted PB&J's are great and people need to experience them. I like both, but a toasted one is just a different experience like poptarts toasted or untoasted, pizza hot or cold, PB&J is one of those experiences.

How toasted is toasted? Like crunchy or just warmed up enough to change colour? We don't really have pb&j in the UK anyway but I'm a long distance runner and I'd be interested to see how this affect performance

[@D1EHARDTOO]

Once I started this episode, and when Mat mentioned the superstitions with athletes, I theorize it may be a nutritional benefit but mostly it's a mental thing, a placebo effect that helps them and also reminds them of simpler times as kids, a sort of optimistic start to an intense athletic match. Since if you're mentally feeling good, you're probably going to perform better than if you're upset or not feeling well mentally that game. In the age old adage "gotta getcha head in the game"

I think that superstition and nostalgia are one part of it. Though I DO think there's one more practical side to it. It happens to be this mixture of nutritional bonuses that MatPat noted, as well as being absolutely dead-simple to make and just as if not even simpler to eat, making it a perfect mix of helpful, practical, and sprinkled with a little bit of magic.
