FOR ATHLETES BY ATHLETES
Healthy Plate Gourmet was born out of a shared frustration and a deep understanding of the unique nutritional needs of athletes. As dedicated athletes, we experienced firsthand the shortcomings of existing meal prep services. These typical meal prep companies focus on weight loss, not fuel for athletes. Luckily, both Xorge (sushi and dessert) and Alan (Texas BBQ) owned restaurants and were able to address these shortcomings directly and deliciously!
Athletes, because of their diverse nutritional needs are being underserved. Weight and resistance training requires more protein for recovery, cardio requires more carbs for fuel and gameday nutrition is a complex and precise blend of macro nutrients that are specific not just for each sport, but it’s also based on the individual’s specific needs.
ADDRESSING THE GAP IN ATHLETIC NUTRITION
At Healthy Plate Gourmet, we are on a mission
to fill the gap in the market for truly customized
nutrition. Our meals are designed to fuel
performance, optimize recovery, and support
overall health. We understand that a weightlifter's
diet differs significantly from that of an endurance
athlete, and we tailor our meal plans accordingly.
Our approach goes beyond simply counting
calories; we focus on the quality and balance
of nutrients to ensure our clients can perform at
their best.
Alan’s kids, who are competitive swimmers and have been coached by Alan for most of their lives, saw a marked improvement in his children's competitive performance once they started eating meals designed for optimal athletic nutrition. It took many years to dial in their specific nutritional goals and the help of multiple specialized nutrition coaches. This highlighted a broader issue: young athletes and their parents often lack access to science backed nutritional information.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are not just a meal prep company; we are educators and advocates for proper nutrition. Through our partnership with the Nourish and Thrive Foundation, we are committed to spreading awareness and providing education on the importance of nutrition. An athlete’s training is only as effective as their recovery. We believe in empowering athletes of all ages with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed dietary choices.

SPECIALIZED NUTRITION
On game day, nutrition is fine-tuned to maximize performance and endurance. Pre-game meals are higher in easily digestible carbohydrates to fuel intense activity, with moderate protein and minimal fat to avoid digestive discomfort. Post- game, the focus shifts with a combination of protein and carbohydrates to replenish energy stores and repair muscles. We will prepare you for any athletic event.
Nutrition also varies between athletes of different sports with differing needs. At Healthy Plate Gourmet, we take these factors into account. We can work directly with your nutrition coach to provide customized meals based on your specific nutritional needs upon request. We prepare your food to ensure that you achieve success with our performance enhancing meals!
