An NFL season is short and brutal. Seventeen games plus the playoffs, a new opponent every week, and a body that takes a beating every Sunday. What you eat between games decides how you recover, how you hold mass, and how you feel in the fourth quarter.
Chef Bill Blackburn provides NFL athlete meal services built on farm to table sourcing and the standards of a professional sports kitchen. Daily meal prep, game-week fueling, and recovery nutrition, calibrated to your macros and delivered across Southern California.
Full-service catering and event planning company
Who We Help
This service is for players who treat food as part of training, not an afterthought. You have a weight to hold, a position to play, and one short week to recover before the next game.
We work directly with players, and just as often with the people around them. Agents who need a trusted referral. Team dietitians and nutritionists who set the macros and want them followed exactly. Strength and conditioning coaches focused on recovery and durability. Family members who run the household.
The concerns are always the same. Will the macros be right. Will the food show up on a short week. Will anyone find out who the client is. We built this service to answer all three.
Our NFL Meal Service Options
Every plan is built around your targets, your position, and your taste. Nothing here is a fixed package. The options below are what most players use.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks portioned to your daily targets and labeled by meal. Protein, carbs, and fats measured, not estimated. We cook around your preferences and any restrictions, so the food fits your routine instead of fighting it.
Common scope: full daily prep in season, body-composition prep in the offseason.
Meals mapped to the game-week cycle, from early-week recovery to game-day fueling. Portable, road-ready options for travel weeks when the team plane and hotel menu fall short.

Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense meals built for the days your body is repairing. We adjust macros to add lean mass, lean out, or hold weight as your role and the season demand.
Meals delivered to your home, prepped in your kitchen, or both. Service is private and low-profile by default. Your name and schedule stay between us.

Our Process
The setup is fast and built around your team. Three steps, clear timelines, no disruption to your routine.
Step 1
Share your targets, schedule, food preferences, and any restrictions. If you work with a dietitian or nutritionist, we take the macros straight from them and follow the plan they set.
Step 2
We build a weekly menu and prep schedule around your numbers and the game-week cycle. You review and adjust before anything is cooked. No reused menus from other clients.
Step 3
We source, cook, portion, and deliver on the schedule we agree on. Plans flex with travel weeks, recovery, and how your body is responding through the season. Most players start with a one to two week trial before committing to a full-season rhythm.
