What Our Personal Chefs Cook for Active Kids + Athletes
Raising active kids and young athletes means food is always top of mind—what they’re eating, when they’re eating, and whether it’s truly supporting their performance. Between school, practices, games, and busy family schedules, consistently serving balanced meals can feel overwhelming.
At A Perfect Fit, our personal chefs help families fuel active kids without the stress of planning, shopping, cooking, or cleaning. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what our personal chefs actually cook for active kids and athletes, and why it works.
Why Nutrition Matters More for Active Kids + Athletes
Active kids burn more energy and require more nutrients to support growth and recovery. When nutrition falls short, parents often notice:
Constant hunger
Decrease in performance
Slow recovery or frequent soreness
Mood swings or irritability
Proper fueling supports muscle repair, endurance, focus, and long-term athletic development. That’s why our personal chefs don’t just cook “healthy food”—they cook purposeful meals that support performance.
How Our Personal Chefs Plan Athlete-Focused Meals
Every family we serve is different, so personalization is key.
Meals are planned around:
Sport and training intensity
Practice and game schedules
Age and growth stage
Food sensitivities and preferences
Our chefs focus on meals that are easy to reheat, flexible for busy weeks, and kid-friendly without sacrificing nutrition.
What Our Personal Chefs Actually Cook
Protein-Packed Main Dishes
Protein supports growth, muscle repair, and satiety—especially for active kids.
Common meals include:
Grass-fed meatballs
Lemon herb chicken
Shredded beef or chicken for bowls, tacos, or wraps
These meals are familiar, flavorful, and easy to portion for multiple days.
Performance-Friendly Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are essential fuel for practices and games.

Balanced carbs help prevent energy crashes and support endurance.
