Safety first
Survey allergies before buying anything in bulk.Keep at least one nut-free default option available.Do not treat the locker as the full meal plan. It is backup fuel.Do not hide the locker in a closet athletes never pass. A good system is visible before practice starts.
Cheap fuel beats missed fuel. Build the locker so the easy option is already visible before practice starts.
