Széchenyi Food & Hydration – Smart Timing Guide

Pre-Entry Meal

• Light meal (complex carbs + moderate protein) 60–90 min prior.
• Avoid heavy, greasy foods—can feel sluggish in hot pools.

Hydration Cadence

Snack Ideas

• Nuts, fruit piece, light energy bar (check site rules; no glass packaging).
• Skip high-sugar spikes before hot immersion.

Post-Session Meal Timing

• Allow 30–45 min after final soak before large meal for temperature normalization.
• Consider nearby City Park cafes for calm recovery.

Bottom Line

Steady water, light electrolytes, and moderate pre-soak nutrition maintain comfort. Overeating + dehydration undermine the experience.
