Chris Sweeney, founder of RightMealz™, is on a mission to transform lives through the power of nutrition and community. A former Division I athlete turned entrepreneur, Sweeney’s dedication to health and fitness has evolved into a movement that fuels elite athletes, everyday individuals, and the vibrant Downtown Long Beach community.
In an exclusive interview, Sweeney opened up about the journey that led him to create RightMealz™ and the impact his company is making. “Nutrition isn’t just about food; it’s about fueling potential—whether that’s in sports or everyday life,” he said.
Collaborating with the Best
RightMealz™ has partnered with prestigious organizations and their sports dietitians, like the Los Angeles Kings, Raiders, and USC Athletics. The feedback from these partnerships has been overwhelmingly positive. “Hearing how our meals enhance their performance is incredibly rewarding,” Sweeney shared, noting that many athletes have reported improved energy, focus, and recovery.
With a client base that includes over 200 NFL athletes and involvement in NFL combine training camps, RightMealz™ has become a trusted name in sports nutrition. One memorable moment for Sweeney was tailoring a post-surgery recovery plan for an athlete. “Seeing them bounce back stronger was humbling and inspiring,” he said, reflecting on the transformative power of structured nutrition.
A Personal Approach to Nutrition
As a former Division I athlete, Sweeney brings firsthand knowledge of the demands placed on high-performing individuals. Reflecting on his own experience, he said, “If I had access to the knowledge and resources we provide today, I might have avoided some injuries.”
RightMealz™ collaborates with top training centers like Exos Sports to tailor meal plans that optimize athletic performance. For example, an NFL lineman’s meal plan might include 10 ounces of protein and 120 grams of carbohydrates, compared to the standard 6 ounces of protein and 45 grams of carbohydrates offered to everyday clients.
This personalized approach ensures that RightMealz™ meets the unique needs of both elite athletes and the general population without compromising on quality.
Building Community Through Nutrition
Sweeney’s passion extends beyond the plate. RightMealz™ hosts events like the monthly Run and Plunge and the annual Santa Run in partnership with the Long Beach Fire Department. These events encourage healthy lifestyles and foster connections within the community.
“Hosting community events allows us to take the feeling of belonging beyond our walls,” Sweeney explained. Participants enjoy fun, active experiences along with recovery techniques and nutritious refreshments provided by RightMealz™.
Recent initiatives like a toy drive and the Santa Run highlight the company’s commitment to giving back. Sweeney envisions making the Santa Run an annual tradition and plans to launch a running shoe drive to support local children in need.
A Lasting Legacy
By blending nutrition, performance, and community, Chris Sweeney is creating a legacy with RightMealz™. From partnering with elite athletes to inspiring healthier lifestyles in Long Beach, his vision is clear: to make a lasting impact, one meal, one athlete, and one event at a time.
“Nutrition changed my life,” Sweeney said, “and now I get to help others change theirs. That’s what it’s all about.”
