As a team chef I will have a hybrid system of meal planning and customization. Pre and post practice meals and such will be planned ahead, changing each week. Game day meals for pre game will be based on the player's request. An example would be Jones always eats chicken parm and alfredo pasta before a game. He may have a snack or pre game nap as well but those are up to him. Any game day post game meal is up to the players, usually the players would go out post game, especially after a win, so the need for me to cook isn't there. Road trips will follow the same system, pre and post practice meals and snacks. Custom pre game meals on game days. All options will always have some good snacks. Fruits and veggies and others based on player preferences ( chips dips etc.) At the end of the day you want to eat healthy but the players aren't on a diet and with training everyday they need to be ready.
