(CNN) Some NFL players turn to classic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a pregame snack. Others might build their own smoothies, while those with game-day jitters might have no appetite at all and focus mostly on staying hydrated. As the Super Bowl approaches -- with the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams facing off in Atlanta on Sunday -- those might be some of the foods NFL players are eating while training for the big game, but every player is different, said Leslie Bonci, a sports dietitian with the Kansas City Chiefs. That's a comfortable food for them," Bonci said. "Some of the guys have it with a glass of milk, just like they did in grade school ... and that works as a fuel source," she said.
