Module 01 — Fuel

Eat enough. Hurl harder.

A weekly fuelling plan for an 83kg senior hurler. Chicken & beef only. Rice, spuds & wraps. Medium spice. Built to stop the under-fuel — especially before games.

The Two Non-Negotiables
1Pre-training bagel + jam, Wed & Fri 4–5pm. Fast carbs in the tank before pitch. Non-optional.
2Day before a match: carb up all day + evening carb snack. Kills the pre-match nausea/weakness. Pasta, rice, spuds, bagels, jam.

🏠 At home ~620 kcal

Sourdough + eggs. Two thick slices toasted, 3 eggs scrambled or fried in butter, salt + cracked pepper. Hot sauce optional.

~30g protein · ~55g carb · ~28g fat. Add a banana on training days.

💼 Office / on the move grab & go

  • Overnight oats — 80g oats, 200ml milk, 1 tbsp honey, banana. Make Sun night, keeps 3 days.
  • Porridge pot — Quaker pot, hot water, banana on the side.
  • Toasted sourdough + banana — pre-toast at home, banana from the fruit bowl.
  • Pre-boiled eggs ×3 — Sunday batch in shells, peel at desk.

⚡ Microwave scrambled eggs 90 sec

  1. Crack 3 eggs into a mug or bowl with a splash of milk.
  2. Whisk with a fork until uniform yellow.
  3. Microwave 30 sec on high. Stir hard.
  4. Microwave another 30 sec. Stir again — they'll look wet, they're not.
  5. Final 15–30 sec until just set. Salt, pepper, eat in the mug.

If they puff up like a soufflé, you cooked too long — pull earlier next time.

Pre-training rule Wed/Fri

Bagel + jam at 4–5pm. Plain bagel, lightly toasted, hammered with strawberry jam. Banana on the side if hungry. This is the non-negotiable — do not skip.

Prep guide

Two batch sessions — Sunday + Friday night. Cooks once, eats all week.

🍳 Sunday batch ~75 min

  • Beef base ×3 portions — brown 750g mince, add onion + garlic + 2 tins tomato + stock + spice. Simmer 25 min. Forks into chilli, ragu, cottage pie, tacos.
  • Tray of chicken thighs — 1kg, oil + paprika + garlic + salt, 200°C 28 min. Slices into wraps, bowls, salads.
  • Overnight oats ×3 jars — 80g oats / 200ml milk / honey / banana per jar. Lid, fridge.
  • Hard-boil 6 eggs — 9 min from boiling, ice bath, leave in shells. Office breakfasts.
  • Wash & chop — peppers, onions, lettuce. Tupperware. Cuts midweek faff in half.

🔥 Friday night batch ~40 min

  • Tray of wedges — 1 bag McCain or hand-cut, 200°C 30 min. Saturday lunch.
  • Top-up chicken — 500g thighs if Sunday batch ran dry.
  • Rice ×4 portions — 320g uncooked basmati. Cool fast (see safety), fridge.
  • Match-day prep — if Saturday game: extra bagels & bananas on the counter for the morning.

Food safety — do not skip

  • Cool fast. Lid ajar at room temp 1–2 hrs max, then straight to the fridge.
  • 3–4 day rule. Eat cooked beef/chicken/rice within 3–4 days. Label the lid with the cook date.
  • Reheat once, piping hot. Steaming through the middle, not the edges. Never reheat twice.
  • Rice especially. Cool within 1 hr, eat within 24–48 hrs if you can. Reheat blazing hot.
  • Sniff test isn't science. If you're unsure on day 4, bin it. £3 of meat < a stomach bug the week of a match.
