Only recently I figured out how important nutrition really is for athletes, especially soccer players. I never had any kind of influence like what you’re doing growing up regarding nutrition so it’s great that you provide that platform for others 🙏🏼

I'm glad that you keep it real and add that one unhealthy snack during the day, and don't fake it like the others it shows what us as athletes actually should look for in a diet to compete
My son plays soccer and loves your videos. I'm a sports RD, your meals look amazing and really well balanced. I like that you also include "favorite fun" foods too. For what it's worth, my 2 cents would be to shift carbs up closer to 60% and shift protein down a bit to 20% & 30% fats. Might help with maintaining weight during pre/in-season and keep glycogen stores full for more energy to perform. Best wishes this season!
Matt, I'm really happy to see you're getting sponsored on your videos. You definitely deserve it, well done and I will surely check out the app, some of my friends play it already.
Glad to be Greek and have greek yogurt in my fridge as an essential food it's a good source of protein and I like to eat it after a night team training session as it's light and easy to digest it
Awesome video! Everyone’s different. Adherence is what will get you results, if you need a few cookies to help keep you consistent do it. It’s always great to see athletes share their nutrition.
I appreciate you showing your meal plans so often, and try and provide some advice while also being aware that everyone's body is different and responses will vary. I have a questoon... why do you have such high protein meals? I read somewhere that over 30 grams per meal or after a workout would not have much effect at all on your body, and may be over doing it. I was curious if you've varied protein intake mainly after workouts, to come to your 40-50 gram values. Thanks in advance!
You'd be better mixing honey in plain yogurt than having flavored yogurt. Cheaper as well. The sugar content that the latter kills the good bacteria in the yogurt. Cheers!
Why? Have you never seen an ad before on TH-cam or podcast? Joe Rogan has like 10straight minutes of ads before the free show he gives because that pays the bills. I'm just thrilled that Matt got a Google and PES sponsorship. Whether he uses a product or not is secondary, it's about what his fans demographic is that this is about. Besides, the ad is nowhere as cringey as those ones your hear in podcasts about shaving your ba***.
sam swem I know I’m know Matt and you probably don’t care😂 but I intermittent fast and I really enjoy doing it while staying very active. I train once or twice a day and I usually try to train on an empty stomach and it really feels amazing because you don’t have any food in your stomach. Right after training I have a lot of protein and vegetables probably around 90g of protein in one meal (including protein shake). You should try it!
I'm a nutritionist, biochemist, and Olympic weightlifter and played high level soccer for 20 years before injuries and the switch to weightlifting. IM can be a very useful tool for your training. But, there are different variations of it. It comes down to how you feel while you're doing any type nutrition plan. Try things for at least a week consistently and pay attention to how you feel and your performance. Find what works for you.
I had the same problem too lol. basically just put the butter in there and wait for it to start bubbling then just crack the eggs in and they should end up over easy
how do you hit your carbs without going over your calories for the day? im writing a diet report on footballers and am struggling to meet macro requirements without overgoing cals!
Im in preseason right now. This full week we ran 58 km in the span of 5 days. I feel like my legs are about to fall off. I’ve been eating the best that I possibly could eat but i feel it’s not changing much.
Thank you Matt. Really appreciate these kinda vids... One question though: Aren't 5 egs per day a bit too much because of the amount of cholesterol you get from them? Greetings from Germany ✌️
horizoN Cholesterin Lüge ist ja schon länger bekannt. Aber im allgemeinen stimme ich dir zu täglich so viele Eier zu essen , hört sich beunruhigend an. Denke nicht dass er jeden Tag sich 5 Eier reinstopf Auch Grüße aus almania 🤙
BrendanCFC sure, He mentioned that eating to many eggs increases your cholesterol level , we (in Germany )tend to believe that thats the main cause for heart diseases, however there‘s a great book (besides that lots of interesting documentaries ) which proves that that‘s not the case because the body naturally produces cholesterol , if it‘s being supplemented by nutrition (via eggs e.g. ) than the body shuts it‘s own production of cholesterol . I was like : but consuming 5 eggs per day is surely not good for your overall health . Reading an article I realized , that around 10-15 eggs per week are fine (if you‘re having a healthy diet (where you usually don’t eat a lot of meet )combined with lots of physical activity , then even more eggs per week are fine
Hi matt, about 3 weeks ago in my high school soccer game i slide tackle and my right ankle went a awkward way and i sprained it pretty bad, i couldn’t walk on it for a week and a half and i was on crutches during that time. It was pretty swollen and hurt it, but i never went to the hospital. i’ve been starting to run and pass the ball but i still can’t hit a long ball far and hard with the top of the foot. so right now i’m stuck between pushing through it or do i wait to my ankle is completely healed. also are there any stretches to strengthen my ankle that you recommend. ps: i love your videos so much!!!!!
Amanda Nila Let it heal! And consult a doctor or physio just to make sure. Sprains are pretty common and it is different from every individual how long they take to heal. Try some easy balance exercises on one leg, make sure you are fully warmed up and feel confident when/if you are going to play. One injury can lead to another if you are not careful, just give it some time and you will heal! ( there are videos on yt as well on how deal with sprains etc. Check them out). Good luck
I can't eat before a game or before I play. I need to feel hungry to play well. If I eat anything more than a banana I feel sluggish and really slow. Not sure why that is because my metabolism is so high but it is what it is
Just curious, if you did your post that explains your body probably cant take more than 30-40 grams of protein in a meal, what is the idea behind eating 56 g of protein in just breakfast? Is it just like to get more calories and they happened to have it? Just a little confused.

Very informative as usual and an excellent resource for Footballers to model their nutrition/ diet after!
Been binge watching you channel the past couple of weeks, I love it!! Thanks for the awesome and genuine content!
Second
Edit: this vid is actually what I needed thanks

From Looking at your PES team, I can tell it doesn’t really seem like it’s part of your daily routine 😂, Thanks for the video anyway 🙌
I've been thinking about this a lot in the past few days and all of a sudden you drop the exact video I need
He called Manchester United one of the biggest clubs in the world and I had to check what year this was uploaded lololol

Matt what do you think the best drill is for a fullback. What should fullbacks focus on the most? Thanks
Speed, stamina, crossing, short and long passes ( these are just the basics)
Set pieces as well
@@ge394 thanks
If you can still keep the sprints up late game coaches will love you. Dont get out worked. Keep that stamina up man!

Hey Matt,
What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting for athletes? Have you ever considered diets like vegan, vegetarian, keto, etc?
Thanks!

You are my favourite pro
I need to learn how you make your eggs over easy, I haven’t learned how lol, I can do scrambled, boiled, dunno over easy though
youri st jean you literally just crack the egg in the pan...
I had the same problem too lol. basically just put the butter in there and wait for it to start bubbling then just crack the eggs in and they should end up over easy
very cool video. do you know if there are pros who follow a vegan diet?
Such a good video. But how do you calculate all calories, fats,proteins and so on?
use apps on the App Store like my fitness pal its really good and free for the basic stuff (which is more than enough)
Back in the same house!!!!!!
It sucks when your an athlete but look at food like art
Thanks for sharing bro
Wow do you really play Pes mobile. Please reply
And I was thinking about changing my meal plan lol
matt, what do you write down on your whiteboard?
What about the guys with nog the same body type like you? The ones that pick up weight easily?
You got a new car!

Do you do extra training sessions on days where you already have one training session?
how do you hit your carbs without going over your calories for the day? im writing a diet report on footballers and am struggling to meet macro requirements without overgoing cals!
What time was lunch ? I see you had training at 10 then finished second session around 4:00pm. 3 hours before second session meaning at 1pm?
Matt when you was referring to some of the biggest clubs in the world, you forgot to mention the BIGGEST club in the world LIVERPOOL😁
Hey why you do not come to INDIA to play in ISL.

Are you back in Tulsa already?
U know when u wouldn't do it before a game having treat things , would u do it two days before just not one day before. ?
Oh and TH-cam has a lot of good recipes vids
Ok I,m way younger then u and I lose fat pretty easy and gain muscle a lot what should be my diet plan?
that's a bar yo.." eating is just an extra part of training"
I used to play this game everday
And i made a good team alsoo
Sir u play in which league ??
whats your take on eggs ? i hear people say they arent good and others who say it is

If you are trying to gain weight, do you still need a caloric surplus on the days that you don’t train

When starts your season
That s a great diet..one question..the eggs are not too much?
I mean..5 eggs on a meal
Do you eat that much eggs everyday?
Eggs do not increase your blood cholesterol. 4-5 eggs is no issues specially for athelete.
Am worried about your digestion eggs and yogurt don't mix well...
Do you take any supplements or multivitamins?
Bro what is your height?
