The Teen Athlete's Fuel Guide: Game-Day Eating, Recipes & Printables

A downloadable guide for teen athletes and their families: fuel checklists, simple recipes, grocery lists, and trackers to print and use.

Course Summary

Fuel your game with confidence.

The Teen Athlete's Fuel Guide is a practical, printable resource created by Erin Crowell, BSc AHN, founder of Happy Kids Nutrition Academy. Instead of more theory, this guide gives you the tools to put good fueling into practice right away, at the kitchen table and in the gym bag.

Inside the guide you'll find:

  • Game-day and practice-day fuel checklists (before, during, and after activity)
  • A teen athlete grocery list and pantry staples page, with budget notes
  • 10 quick snack combos for before and after practice, no cooking required
  • Away-game and tournament eating pages, including cooler packing and concession-stand best picks
  • A weekly fuel planner that maps practices, meals, and snacks together
  • A printable hydration tracker for the fridge
  • 15 simple, family-friendly recipes organized by when you eat them: night-before dinners, race-day breakfasts, post-practice recovery snacks, everyday lunches, and treats that still fuel

Every page is designed to be printed and used, not just read. The guide focuses on practical fueling with familiar foods, no diets, no pressure, just simple support for growing athletes.

Format: PDF, instant download after purchase. Print at home as many times as you like for your own family.

Perfect for teen athletes in any sport, and for parents who want a simple, realistic way to support their eating. Pair it with our Fundamentals of Sports Nutrition course if you want the science behind the guide. https://www.happykidsnutrition...

Erin Crowell

Hi, I’m Erin Crowell!
I’m the Founder and CEO of Happy Kids Nutrition Academy, but first and foremost, I’m a parent who knows the "veggie struggle" is real. With a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Human Nutrition from Mount Saint Vincent University and over a decade of experience in the nutrition and fitness industry, I’ve dedicated my career to making health education fun and accessible for the next generation.

My mission is to empower kids aged 8-18 to build a positive relationship with food through science-backed, interactive learning. From kinesiology to food science, I believe that when kids understand the why behind their food choices, they develop habits that last a lifetime. I’ve been honored to be featured in Inc. Magazine, Global News, and Start UP Canada, and I’ve had the joy of teaching over 1,000 students across 20 countries. I can’t wait to help your child thrive!
