Nutrition-Focused Performance Menu

The CCMP integrates culinary techniques with nutrition principles intended to support general wellness and performance. The Galley COR is among a limited number of U.S. Coast Guard Culinary Specialists who have earned this certification.

This specially designed menu blends U.S. Coast Guard culinary excellence with the CCMP’s evidence-based approach to nutrition, supporting athletic performance, overall wellness, and long-term health, without sacrificing flavor or enjoyment.
