THE RUGBY NUTRITION BLUEPRINT: SCIENCE-BACKED STRATEGY.
The Rugby Nutrition Operational Manual is not a generic meal plan — it’s a scientifically validated framework built for the unique demands of professional rugby.
Developed from nearly three decades of elite-level experience, this system manages every minute of a player’s fueling day — delivering precision nutrition that maximizes performance, recovery, and resilience.
Core Strategy: The Day Protocols
Our system is structured around the most critical components of fueling, using our proprietary digestion framework:
| Protocol Name | Focus |
|---|---|
| Fast Window (0–3 hours) | Rapidly absorbed nutrients for immediate pre/intra/post-session fueling. |
| Medium Window (3–6 hours) | Balanced nutrient delivery for sustained recovery and energy. |
| Slow Window (6+ hours) | Slower-digesting foods for overnight recovery and sustained energy. |
