I think the general recommendation is increasing the % of carbs in your diet the three days before the marathon. The key is to not significantly increase your total calorie intake (especially because you're running less). It's also good to get a little extra salt in your diet to help hydration. I would also try to avoid eating too much fiber because it can mess with your GI tract. And of course you don't want to eat too much "bad" (saturated) fats. Hope this helps.
