Smaller athletes, this is a great breakfast for you. Older athletes, this is an afternoon snack.

Blueberry baked oatmeal squares. Easy to make, and they taste amazing.

Oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt mixed together. Whole milk, two eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, melted butter stirred in. Fold in a cup and a half of blueberries. 375 degrees for 35 minutes until it sets. Let it cool, then cut into eight squares.

Per square: 200 calories, 5.9g protein, 29.3g carbs, 7g fat.

Need more calories? Eat two or three squares.

"Is it worth it?" I hear it all the time.

Sometimes it sounds like, "Coach, what's this going to cost? What about groceries?" Sometimes it's, "How am I going to fit meal prep into everything we already have going on?"

Those are fair questions. My answer is yes, it's worth finding a way to make it work.

Candice and I have had plenty of nights when the question at our house was, "What's in the pantry?" I remember what that feels like. I'm a dad raising two athletes. I've paid for lessons, made the long drives, booked the hotels and the airfare, paid the team dues. Faith is the most important thing I can teach my boys. Right after that, it's their health.

Beckett is getting recruited for college lacrosse right now. My job is to help him put on size and get stronger, and to teach him how to figure out what to eat on a long training day by himself. Pearson is in college. On a regular Tuesday he has class, baseball, and training. I want him to open the pantry and know what he needs to take care of himself.

That's what I want for your son or daughter.

Start with one meal you can make together. Show them how you do it. One day your kid is going to have a long Tuesday of their own, and some of what you taught them in your kitchen will be right there with them.

Early morning practice. Nothing heavy on the stomach. But you still need carbs.

This is what I use with athletes who struggle to eat breakfast before practice.

Kodiak mix and sliced apples cooked in a pan with a little ghee. Cinnamon and sugar on top, drizzle of honey.

442 calories, 16g protein, 96g carbs, 2g fat.

Eat this before practice. Then have a bigger breakfast after.

Do not go to practice without getting your carbs. You have to fuel.

I work with a lot of college athletes now, and I can tell which ones were taught how to cook at home.

800-calorie dinner. 10 minutes. You make it yourself.

12-ounce potato in the microwave on the potato button, or 10-12 minutes flipped halfway. While it cooks, pound a chicken breast flat, season with garlic salt and pepper, and sear in cast iron four minutes each side. Split the potato, add five ounces of chicken, melted cheese, two slices of bacon, and a sauce made with Greek yogurt and ranch.

803 calories, 70g protein, 66g carbs, 28g fat.

Smaller athlete? Half a potato: 401 calories, 35g protein, 33g carbs, 14g fat.

Dinner, lunch, or post-workout recovery. Learn how to do this.

Eat it warm or cold. No microwave needed.

Barbecue chicken roll-up. Pizza dough rolled out, spread with barbecue sauce, layered with 14 ounces of thin-pounded chicken breast, shredded cheese, red onion, and cilantro. Roll it up, bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.

Two pieces: 606 calories, 48g protein, 60g carbs, 20g fat.

Make it once, eat it cold the next day for lunch. Still tastes amazing.
