Mustang Soccer Meal Plan Week A

Nutritional Plan Designed for Youth Soccer Players (Ages 10-17) **WEEK A**

Optimized Fueling: Young athletes require a consistent supply of fuel to meet the demands of soccer training and matches. The plan emphasizes complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.
Muscle Recovery: After intense exercise, the body requires protein for muscle recovery. Each meal is designed to provide adequate protein to support this process
Hydration and Electrolytes: By including nutrient-dense sides such as vegetables and whole grains, the plan supports hydration and electrolyte balance, which is critical for optimal performance.

Macronutrient Breakdown and Its Impact

 The accompanying graphic illustrates the macronutrient breakdown in each meal: 30% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 30% fats. This balance ensures that the athletes receive the right amount of fuel before training and matches, allowing them to perform consistently. The high carbohydrate content refuels glycogen stores, which are essential for energy during high-intensity activities like soccer. Meanwhile, protein supports muscle development, and healthy fats help with prolonged energy release and overall recovery.
