We push back on the “eat less when you’re hurt” myth and show how fueling drives better rehab, stronger muscles, and faster tissue healing. From creatine and omega‑3s to collagen timing and vitamin D, we map practical steps that help ACL and OCD athletes progress.

• the case for calorie sufficiency and daily protein
• why creatine and omega‑3s support strength and tolerance
• vitamin D, vitamin C, and collagen timing for tissue support
• reframing nutrition as fuel for performance, not weight loss
• how REDs and underfueling stall progress and raise risk
• workload vs recovery for OCD bone healing
• simple routines teens will actually follow: snacks, sleep, hydration
• when to refer to a sports dietitian and what to screen
