Meal Prep Is Recovery: Why Food Matters More Than You Think

Recovery isn’t just what you do after the gym.
It’s what you do between workouts, in the kitchen, and in your daily routine — especially when no one’s watching.

The truth is, no matter how hard you train, you don’t grow in the gym.
You grow in recovery.
And food is where that process starts.

Your Food Is Either Fuel or Friction

It’s simple: what you eat will either help you recover or hold you back.

If you're hitting CrossFit WODs, Hyrox doubles, heavy Olympic lifts, or just pushing through long days on your feet — your body is constantly repairing, rebuilding, and trying to stay ahead of the breakdown.

Under-fueling, skipping meals, or eating junk that doesn’t serve your goals?
That’s friction.
That’s inflammation.
That’s burnout in disguise.

Here’s What Real Food Does for You:

✅ Replenishes glycogen so your energy stays up for tomorrow’s training
✅ Delivers protein for muscle repair and growth
✅ Supports hormonal health — especially cortisol balance after high-intensity training
✅ Boosts immune function (because you're more likely to get sick when recovery is weak)
✅ Improves sleep and next-day performance

And when it’s made by a chef who understands both flavor and fuel?
Even better.

Why We Built Pork & Fork Preps Around Recovery

Our meals aren’t “diet food.”
They’re fuel food — built to support movement, mood, and muscle.

From protein-forward mains to macro-balanced sides, our menu is crafted with recovery in mind.
Because we know your training doesn’t stop — and your goals can’t afford to either.

We even offer meat by the pound so you can stack your protein and control your portions based on your personal macros and plan.

Train Smart. Eat Smart. Recover Smarter.

You wouldn’t skip your cooldown or mobility work, right?
So don’t skip the part that truly powers your recovery: what’s on your plate.

Orders close Thursday at noon. Meals drop Sunday. We’ll handle the food — you handle the showing up.
