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.

Seven Essential Day Protocols

  • Breakfast Protocol
  • Pre Training/Match Protocol
