šOur favorite meal prep to date.
š®Letās about it.
š®The butcher cut some portions as beef fajitas and itās š¤
š„I flavored it with a little olive oil and cooked it in the air fryer on 400 degrees for 8 minutes flipping once.
šEach of the packaged meals has 1 c Spanish rice, 2 Tacos with lettuce, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese and 1.5 servings of nuts.
šThis is what a sample day will look like for my soon to be collegiate athlete:
š³Breakfast: egg and cheese bagel sandwich, strawberries, coffee and 20oz water with 5 grams of creatine. Heās trying new creatine right now.
Mid morning snack: dried fruit and kind bar
Lunch: ā¬ļø whatās packed above PLUS grapes, cheese stick, another bar (not a protein one), goldfish and guac to put on taco āMuscle milk
Pre workout after school : something quick like applesauce squeezies or dried mangos or pb crackers (depending on workout)
Dinner: We always have meat, grain, veggies āmilk. He usually also has a fruit here too
After dinner he usually hits the ā¾ļøcages
After the cage = Yogurt and some more fruit. His favorites are or
š° Of course water all day and sometimes electrolytes depending on weather and activity.
I LOVE how his soon to be college coaches stressed NUTRITION and how thereās nutrition stations for the athletes all throughout the facilities and the campus. Iām so glad he already focuses on it and that he trusts the dietitian in me. As a catcher who is in almost every play I know his nutrition sustained his endurance, fueled his game, and helped to ground his nervous system.
