DE PERE (WLUK) -- If you're a Packers player, your diet is just as important as your performance.

During training camp, chefs at St. Norbert make sure the players are served a variety of tasty, and nutritious meals.

In the Michels Ballroom, at St. Norbert College, Packers players eat their meals.

St. Norbert Chef T.W. Stanciu has been cooking at training camp for 13 years.

As the players stay on campus, the university provides both a snack, and dinner.

FOX 11 got a sneak peek at one of the menu items.

T.W. says during the players stay there is usually a rotating menu.

"We'll repeat most of the items, but I'll watch what they eat, if they like it we'll put it on," said T.W. Stanciu.

He says over the years, they have taken a healthier approach to the menu, hints the kale in this burger.

"We like to use buffalo meat, because it's better for the athletes," he said. "Back six year ago, they weren't eating as healthy, we had snacks, candy, malts but we switched that up," he said.

He says the players' diet mostly consist of vegetables, fruits, carbs, and protein.

"You wouldn't think an omelet after 8:30 at night, would be something you want to eat, but they love it," Stanciu said.

As he topped of the burger, and put it out for display.

"This something we'll probably we'll serve for the Green Back Packers during Training Camp," Stanciu said.

He says training camp is a time the college looks forward to each year.

"It's nice to see the progress over the years," he said.

St. Norbert and the Packers have the longest standing relationship between a college and Pro football team. 2017 marks 60 years.
