ISTANBUL (TR) - The match between Sporting Lisbon and Besiktas, held on October 19 at Vodafone Park as part of the Championship League, ended with a 4-1 victory for Sporting Lisbon. After the match, the star football players of Sporting Lisbon ate a healthy dinner specially prepared for them to recover. Okan Teğen, Founder of FitChef, who specializes in diet food service, said, “The dietitian of the Sporting Lisbon team, Antonio C. Mendes, reached us one week before the match. We evaluated our diet menus together.”

Tasty, practical and enough!

Stating that António C. Mendes requested samples containing delicious, practical and sufficient nutrients for Sporting Lisbon football players, Okan Teğen conveyed the details of the menu with the following words: “In response to their request, we recommended baked salmon and chicken breast from our current menu. We finished them off with baby potatoes, basmati rice and broccoli. After the meal, we served our own recipe, sugar-free magnolia dessert and sugar-free lemonade.”

“Healthy food should not be measured in terms of calories”

Stating that each of the FitChef menus was created by dietitians who are experts in their field, Okan Teğen said, “What we understand from healthy food is not just the calorie value. Where the food is prepared, what ingredients are used, where and how these ingredients are preserved, and by whom it is planned and cooked are important details that make a meal healthy for us. We are very proud that Sporting Lisbon has chosen us thanks to the awareness we have created in the sector with this approach.”
