I have a few questions about diets from the bare-knuckle age. I did post the same tread in the classic forum. I need the information for a paper Im working on called training and diets trough times and ages. My first question: I read that some fighters used to eat stale bread and drink old bear. Why would they do that? The only thing I can think of is that you are not likely to eat a lot of stale bread and drink a lot of old bear since it is not very tasty. Or maybe you feel like you're full earlier? Fighters in those days did eat a lot of protein and tried not to eat to much carbs so they would build up a lot of lean muscle. My second question: Fighters did eat eggs for breakfast often. The did eat it with rum or sherry tough. Why would they do that? Maybe they did eat the eggs raw and they tried to kill the germs in the raw eggs with the alcohol in sherry or rum?
