“It kind of goes hand in hand with being at home with the kids all the time,” Jeff Larentowicz said.

After a day spent helping teach his kids and then paying attention to them in the afternoon, Larentowicz said he can be pretty worn out. Sometimes they have breakfast for dinner.

“The nutrition is there,” he said. “We do pretty well as a family.”

Mo Adams said he’s become very good at cooking salmon and vegetables, which are on the team’s meal plan. Adams said he was ingesting about 2,500 calories daily during the season. He thinks he may be ingesting 3,000 now.

Manuel Castro said he goes to the grocery store every 7-10 days to load up on ingredients. Like Adams, he said he is eating healthily: plenty of fruits and vegetables, with fish.

There is some comfort-food cooking and eating.

Alec Kann, who said he typically eats healthily and doesn’t keep too many items around the house that are tempting, has taken the time to learn how to make biscuits.

“Not the healthiest thing ever,” he said.

Kann said cooking has been a nice distraction and an outlet to exert nervous energy.

A friend who is a butcher had shared with him some pork sausage. Kann said he wanted to make sausage gravy, and what goes better with that than biscuits. Kann described it as a moderate success because the biscuits were too thin. But he can do better.

It’s not always the same as the kitchen at the training ground.

But the players are doing what they can to stay prepared for when the season returns.

“That will play a factor when we do return,” Guzan said.
