Prep Fast, Win Time: Systems That Keep You Consistent
The One-Hour Sunday System
Roast two proteins, cook two carbs, chop three vegetables, and mix two sauces. Set timers, batch sheet pans, and cool everything before packing. You’ll stack six to eight balanced meals with minimal decision fatigue.
Travel-Ready Fuel: Eat Like a Pro on the Road
Build bento boxes with rice, lean protein, and crunchy vegetables plus a small sauce container. Add shelf-stable sides like nut butter packets and dried fruit to bridge delays without sacrificing balance.
Travel-Ready Fuel: Eat Like a Pro on the Road
A collapsible bowl, silicone steamer, and mini cutting board turn a microwave into a meal station. Pair microwave rice with rotisserie chicken, bagged salad, and olive oil to recreate your training plate anywhere.
Hydration You Can Prep: Electrolytes, Timing, and Heat Strategy
Line up labeled bottles—easy, moderate, and hot conditions—with measured electrolyte packets. Add citrus slices or a splash of juice for taste, encouraging steady intake without overwhelming sweetness.
Hydration You Can Prep: Electrolytes, Timing, and Heat Strategy
Heavy sweaters may need higher sodium in long, hot sessions. Track body weight change pre and post workout for a week and match fluid and sodium replacement accordingly for consistent output.
Hydration You Can Prep: Electrolytes, Timing, and Heat Strategy
Place a bottle beside your keys, shoes, and laptop as visual triggers. Set a phone reminder before strength and immediately post-session. Share your best hydration cue in the comments to inspire teammates.
Weekly Spice Rotation That Beats Boredom
Prep four dry blends—Mediterranean, smoky chili-lime, herb-garlic, and curry masala. Season proteins and veggies after cooking to transform base ingredients into varied plates without extra time.
Sauces Built for Performance
Blend Greek yogurt, lemon, and dill for a bright, protein-rich sauce. Whisk tahini, lime, and honey for carbs plus creaminess. Keep portions measured so flavor enhances, not overwhelms, your macros.
Gut-Calm Choices Before Intense Sessions
If your stomach is sensitive, go lower fiber and lower fat in the pre-event window. Use white rice, ripe bananas, and baked fish, then reintroduce colorful plants and seeds later for recovery.
