  Try taking a look at an article that FM Mike Klein wrote for Chess Life, the USCF publication, in 2008. It's available [*here*](http://chess.jliptrap.us/grandmasterdiet.htm).
  
  It recommends nutrition for before and during play, but it also emphasizes the importance of a good diet *all the time*.
