Prompt # 2

[b]Written Task: Describe your player's meal plan to get ready for games. Do you have a regimen that you closely follow to ensure peak fitness? Or do you eat whatever the hell you want? What about on your days off? This task is all about FOOOOOD so talk about it until you hit 150 words. (150+ words).[/b]

Yup, I like to eat. If it weren’t for the fact that I burn off 5000 to 6000 calories on a game day, I would be a blimp. What happens is that I spend my off season training and conditioning. During the season, it is like “maintenance mode”. If I didn’t gobble up 5000 calories a day I would, in fact, lose weight over the course of the season. There is a fallacy about players not eating carbs. Carbohydrates have their place in a hockey-type diet. A pre-game meal, for example, should consist of about 50% carbs, 25% protein (usually chicken, beef or fish) and 25% non-starchy vegetables. Overall, my diet is pretty high in proteins that are required for muscle building and repair. Another important consideration is staying hydrated. Not just during a game, but all day long. A final note: Do I like my spicy food or trying out that new sushi place. Of course I do !!! But not on a game day. There is nothing worse than playing in “discomfort”. !!!

Prompt 1:

As a Japanese man, I feel obliged to share my culture with my team, while also giving them what they like to keep them happy. I immediately start by adding an okonomiyaki bar. For the people that do not know what that is, it is often called the everything pancake by English speakers. It is very nutritious and is mostly cabbage. And this team could definitely use more fiber to be more nimble on their skates in from on me. Before games, I will take custom orders of gyoza which are great pick me ups before games start. For familiarity, I will add a nice steak and potatoes to the menu for dinner. I want to treat my team like a bunch of sailors on a submarine, great food for a shit job of protecting me from oncoming pucks. For breakfast, I will stick to the old favorites but add some steamed rice. Just a little injection of some great japanese cuisine into this frozen wasteland in Edmonton.

Prompt 2 - Chicken Parm. That is where it starts and ends on gameday. After being in close proximity to Esa Parmborg for so long, there is really no other outcome possible. I get up early on game days, and I immediately head to the kitchen for a breakfast chicken parm, which is a chicken parm, but with an egg on top. After finishing that and a coffee, I head in to the rink and roll up to the snack table for a snack parm, which is a chicken parm, but cut into smaller pieces. After practice I have my recovery Chicken Parm, which is a Chicken Parm with protein powder sprinkled on top and eaten in an ice bath. Before the game, I eat my Gametime Chicken Parn, which is a Chicken Parm served hot, in between two other chicken parms. During intermission, I eat several pieces of the leftover snack chicken parm from earlier. After the game it is one more recovery parm and then it is off to bed.

As the team chef, I would 100% take orders and try to get some new recipes from my teammates. I have always been interested in cooking and improving, so new recipes that people want to see/eat would definitely be welcome. I am going to make sure all recipes are optimized for performance (without any use of illegal substances of course) and try to give our team any possible edge we can get. I’m not sure how that would work, or if the food will even taste good/be edible, but we have to give it a try and see if it works out. Maybe the performance would decrease, then I don’t think I would be able to cook for the team anymore, but it’s worth a shot!

That being said, I will not accept any outrageous and outlandish requests, such as pilk. To be quite honest, the chef should be re-hired, given a bonus for having to deal with pilk requests and the player asking for pilk should never be able to play hockey on this team again.

Prompt #2

Cillian has a very strict meal plan on game days. Assuming this is a night game and not an afternoon game his meal plan is as follows. Wake up to a shake, 3 eggs, 1 cup of oats, protein powder, 1 banana and some mixed berries. If he's hungry between breakfast and lunch he'll crush a protein bar to keep his energy levels up after the morning skate. For lunch Cillian prefers a smaller meal, usually a ham sandwich or a small bowl of pasta with meat sauce. The carbs help Cillian keep going. Around 5pm a few hours before game time, Cillian will enjoy a candy bar (for superstitious purposes) and a big glass of milk. After the game Cillian is usually starved so a meal with lots of protein, preferably meat is needed. Steak or pork chops is usually the go-to. If hungry before bed, Cillian will enjoy a small bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup.

Pre-game meals are all about carbs for those quick acting energy releases for quick hands and hopefully a closed five hole. It begins with cubing a pound, maybe two depending on the hunger of chicken breast and cooking them in a pan with olive oil (until brown and 165 in the middle...should be fairly quick). While doing this begin boiling your favorite type of pasta noodle. Lately for me it has been a combination of penne noodles and bowtie. Each delicious in their own right. While the pasta is bubbling in your pot and getting nice and tender, take some cherry tomato's and slice them in half, place into the same pan you were frying or grilling your chicken in. Add fresh spinach to the mix and stir until tender. Remove from heat.

Once the noodles are done, drain and place into a mixing bowl while still steaming hot. Add the spinach, chicken and tomato's to the noodles. Add in 2-4 cups of asiago or mozzarella cheese (personal preference) and mix until cheese has melted and blended in with the mixture. Serve onto plate and top with grated parmesan cheese. Bon Appetit!

For #2,

After transferring from Carolina to Calgary after graduating from the SMJHL, Calgary's nutrition specialist almost had a heart attack when he was given Lilja's meal plan from Carolina. Safe to say his meal plan was almost identical to Michael Phelps - carbs, on carbs, on carbs. After the hard work was done (which was to identify which ingredients Lilja was allergic to, and which ones he just simply refused to eat), the following came to order: 2900 calories in total, 324grams of carbs per day, 157 grams of protein per day, 88 grams of fat per day. Nowadays all Lilja eats is chicken and rice, drenched in low sodium soy sauce and Frank's hot sauce. There is also assorted fried vegetables on his plate from time to time, from baby corn to even broccoli, could you imagine? After turning his diet all around, Lilja has gained lean muscle and burnt a ton of fat with the help of "nature's anabolic juice", which is essentially a pineapple and lemon cocktail

Task #2:

To say that Rolf Korhonen loves meat is a big understatement. He owns a farm not just to earn money, but to make more meat for him to eat. So his usual pregame meal is a big steak and chicken stuffing with a few rolls. This also has the added benefit of helping him when he needs protein, and as a result he is one of the biggest guys on the team in terms of overall muscle. On his days off, he eats even bigger, with his biggest meal being a leg of lamb along with a small steak and chicken stuffing and rolls.

People do ask him how he can survive eating so much meat, and he says the his strict and tough weightlifting and cardio routines help him burn off all the calories. So while he doesn't follow a particular diet plan beyond just eating more meat all the time, he knows that he can burn it off really quickly and his routine is compared to bodybuilders a lot.

This brings me back to those times in the J when I was the only one on the team who actually could (and would) cook and often invited the rookies over to my place in Lethbridge to cook for them. I obviously would take this new task seriously. If you're getting older, especially as a pro athlete, you need to look after yourself so I would only cook meals that would be healthy, so no poisoning of any teammates going on here. I'm open to suggestions, but if it gets too weird (I heard there are people on other teams that apparently put ketchup on everything they eat and I have no idea how that can work for anyone) or if all they order from me is fast food - or some disguisting drink called pilk - I reserve myself the right to change their orders with better... alternatives. And if I really have no idea, I can always call my recently retired gourmet chef friend Gunnar who is better at this anyway and can give me some ideas.

Prompt 2

Mat Smith has created his own meal plan with help from Chicago's chefs and dieticians. On non game days, he eats 3000 calories, and tracks his macros to be 50% lean proteins, such as white meats, yogurt, and beans (but not fish, Mat hates the taste of fish), 35% carbs, Mat loves his bread, and 15% healthy fats, such as nuts, olive oil, and avocados (Mat is a millennial after all). On game days, Mat ups this to 5000 calories per day, tracking his macros to 30% of those lean proteins, but now having 60% carbs, such as pastas, and 10% healthy fats. It's funny, reports have come out saying that Mat spends $1 million per week on training, but you have to wonder how much of that goes into the sheer amount of food he eats. And even this is considered to be on the lighter side for a professional hockey player. At the end of the day though it seems to be working for him, having a .922 save percentage so far this season.

For a game, I have food flown in from the Shady Maple Smorgasbord in East Earl, PA. There are thousands of options to choose from, and I get one of everything. Since I am a frequent customer and somewhat of a celebrity, they give me a huge discount. I pay $199 shipped for every games meal, and there is plenty to go around to some of my cheap teammates. I am a sucker, but I love seeing them enjoying the amazing food that Shady Maple provides. This is beyond comfort food. And having it brought to me, I can avoid the buffet line nonsense and just focus on the food and the upcoming game.I lay all of the food out in front of me and marvel at its beauty. Then, I completely gorge myself into utter overeating oblivion. Shortly after, I have a nice long bathroom break, and then I am ready to bust some heads out on the ice. It is a wondrous feeling, and I do it every few days. Life is good.

I don't think it will be a big surprise to anyone, but Ivan Lacksamus centers his meals around various cheeses. Now that doesn't mean it has to be fancy cheese, just cheese based products at each meal. That may be something as simple as mac and cheese and other times he may decide to devour an entire charcuterie board, but this dairy goodness provide Lacksamus with all the energy he needs. In fact this trend is catching on in the Detroit Falcons locker room and others are experimenting with cheese in various dishes. Our captain even went so far to add cheese to his cereal the other morning (which went very poorly) but I applaud the effort.

When not eating cheese, Lacksamus focuses on the second best dairy product ever created - Ice Cream! This delicious confection is commonly frowned upon by "dieticians" but these people are all crackpots. Ice cream is always a good option.
