The Fed Glass is the world's biggest yearly worldwide group rivalry in ladies' game � the likeness the Davis Container, a group based competition.

The current year's skilled Aegon GB Nourished Container group comprises of Johanna Konta (English No.1 and World No.10), Heather Watson (English No.2), Laura Robson and copies player, Joss Rae, administered by commander and previous English No.1 Anne Keothavong.

So how do the group stay fuelled for such impressive activity? We got up to speed with Johanna Konta and Heather Watson, in the middle of play, to discuss the eating methodologies that keep them on shape.

Johanna Konta, English No.1

'My eating routine changes day by day - the planning of my matches directs the amount I eat and when. For me, the greatest part is hydration. I have to guarantee I get both water and electrolytes so that I'm completely arranged to play a three-hour coordinate if need be.

I work with a nutritionist and have a group around me who help me get the correct admission of sustenances. Do I appreciate cooking? Well I truly appreciate eating! The greater part of my nourishment is cooked for me at the National Tennis Center however I think, with time, I'll gradually show signs of improvement at the cooking as well.

Luckily, I don't should be excessively controlled about my calorie allow however I do need to use sound judgment. I'm fortunate to have experienced childhood in a family unit where my Father's proverb was 'everything with some restraint'. Also, I got great propensities from my Mum as well. I was the child who went to class with a tin of fish, rye bread, carrot and celery sticks not a bundle of crisps! That is helped me these days.'

Breakfast: 'I generally appreciate beginning the day with foods grown from the ground a bit before having breakfast. I'm a huge fanatic of eggs. I generally have two poached eggs � my new revelation - and avocado with simmered tomatoes and mushrooms. At that point I get a kick out of the chance to complete off with porridge made with almond drain.'

Lunch: 'It fluctuates however I generally hope to have a touch of protein, starches and a lot of veg. I more often than not have chicken or fish yet don't go to substantial on meat at lunch as I'm normally preparing after.'

Supper: 'This is a comparative dinner with a decent blend of the considerable number of things I should get. I cherish having an early supper and processing admirably as it truly enhances my rest. I attempt to stick to neighborhood nourishment wherever I am as it's dependably the best. For example, in Australia, there's an incredible assortment of new fish so I overdosed on loads of fish, rice and plate of mixed greens.'

Fuelling up: 'Post warm-up, I may have a modest piece of protein shake, just to get something in, and perhaps touch on some sustenance if there's chance, in addition to electrolyte drink and water.'

Recuperation: 'Straight after I fall off court, I drink a protein recuperation shake with water. I hope to drink it inside the initial 15-20 minutes.'

Supplements: 'In light of the fact that my body is under more strain than ordinary, it's vital to supplant supplements. I take a variety of vitamins, omegas, glutamine (an amino corrosive) and zinc.'

Treats: 'Everybody knows I adore gelato and pizza! I really observe gelato more as a need for mental prosperity and that, thus, comes through in my physical prosperity. Pizza is to a greater degree a treat.'

Heather Watson, English No.2

'My fundamental sustenance procedure is to be sound and have however much vitality as could be expected on the court. That implies loads of products of the soil, bunches of carbs for vitality and, after I complete the process of preparing, heaps of protein.

I feel a monstrous distinction in the event that I don't eat soundly. On the off chance that I ate a Chinese takeaway the prior night preparing, I'd feel significantly more drained and have less vitality. I never take a gander at calories. In case I'm eager, I'll eat. Clearly, you would prefer not to indulge and be full - the most exceedingly bad thing is preparing and feeling like you need to hurl or being superbloated! It's ideal to eat regularly and little.

A nutritionist at the LTA got Glen bails me out with my eating regimen however I don't take after a strict program. It's an exceptionally straightforward approach: everything with some restraint. When I'm eager, I eat and when I'm not, I don't eat - that is so I don't get fat! I jump at the chance to tune in to how I feel and my nutritionist has a comparative standpoint so it works truly well. I don't have faith in taking after eating regimens or removing things, I simply put stock in eating soundly.'

Breakfast: 'Today I had toasted bread with salmon and poached eggs. I most likely ought to have had some natural product yet I was full! In case I'm doing a run first thing (out of season), I would prefer not to eat as I'll get a join so I have a couple tastes water and perhaps one nibble of something.'

Lunch: 'This is presumably my most loved supper of the day. I can't eat a considerable measure in the morning so I'm continually starving! Today it's chicken with pumpkin risotto.'

Supper: 'Today, I'm having flame broiled salmon with garlic spinach. I won't require much sugar I'll have eaten late in the wake of preparing. Everything depends how my body feels. I take a stab at everything without exception! Today I made them herring at breakfast; I've attempted crocodile and shark, and what I truly love is eel and ocean urchin. I'm exceptionally brave!'

Fuelling up: 'On the off chance that I have loads of time before a match, I'll have pasta. If not I'll have something lighter like rice - all plain. I drink heaps of electrolyte drink to ensure I'm hydrated.'

Refueling: 'After a match, I'm never eager yet it's imperative to have something to help your muscles repair in those initial 20 minutes. What works for me is chocolate drain.'

Supplements: 'I'm not enthusiastic about supplements, I lean toward a more characteristic approach.'

Treats: 'I cherish my treats! The critical thing is not to go over the top as I don't have a breaking point! The day preceding I cleared out (for the Fed Glass), I had a chocolate �clair. The thing I want most is crisps since they're salty. In any case, I wouldn't eat them amid a competition in light of the fact that, rationally, I wouldn't have any desire to know I'd had them.'
