Finely tuned athletes make nutrition a part of their health regimen. It should be a priority to create the type of energy needed to reach the top of the proverbial mountain in your sport. Neglect of this often over looked aspect has caused many athletes to falter.

Checkout a few of our go-to meals and snacks that have the ability to help football players build muscle, protect joints and have the fuel to perform at a high level. Let’ s go!

Tuna- Tuna has always been a great source of protein for football players. It is a protein option that is convenient and more cost effective when compared to other fresh fish choices.

Oatmeal- Oatmeal is a whole grain that provides a good source of carbohydrates. Oatmeal has long been known as a go-to for football players to pack on a few pounds and achieve a heftier playing weight. A little oatmeal for breakfast, as well as dessert, never hurt any football player’s limited high school or college budget.

Wild Berries- Berries are an antioxidant that can help reduce inflammation and promote faster recovery time. Wild Berries can be a great source of energy and they are affordable. Athletes can keep them in their backpack and consume before or after workouts.

Steak (Lean) – A nice juicy steak is a common go-to protein for football players. No need to worry about over consumption because your budget won’t allow you to consume on a consistent basis.   A lean steak is the perfect source of protein and iron for strength and optimal brain function. Can be costly so have it as a treat from time to time.
