Training day
Fuel to handle the workload, and what it takes to recover between sessions. Quality protein, carbohydrates matched to the intensity.
Private chef for footballers
Match preparation starts
in the kitchen.
At the club, everything is managed. At home, in the evenings, at weekends, the night before an away trip, that is often where it all falls apart. Prime Meal takes over: a private chef cooks at the player's home, to a plan built around their fixture list.
The reality
After two sessions, a commute and a treatment session, nobody feels like cooking. The young player depends on whatever is in the house. The professional, often alone in his flat, ends up ordering in.
The result: stores not properly topped up before the match, incomplete recovery, and lapses that add up over a season. The problem is not information. It is execution.
Four days, four ways to eat
Pre-match day
Top up the stores without feeling heavy. Easily digested carbohydrates, simple cooking, nothing new.
Match day
Steady energy and a light stomach. The last meal is timed around kick-off.
Recovery
Repair and rebuild: protein, carbohydrates to refuel, and foods rich in micronutrients.
By profile
Professional player
A dedicated chef, sessions scheduled around fixtures and away trips, and complete discretion.
Academy player
For U15 to U21 players who are still growing. Parents stay in control, and the plan takes account of school, training and boarding.
Returning from injury
During rehabilitation, needs change: less energy spent, greater demands for healing. The plan and the menus follow each phase.
What the plan takes into account
Position and playing style
Body composition
Growth in young players
Training load
Kick-off times
Travel and team retreats
Food preferences and requirements
“Performance does not start on the pitch. It starts long before, with what you eat.”
