MY Story
OnTrac5 is a performance-based recipe platform created by Christian Petracca, AFL athlete. He focuses on healthy, high-protein meals, simple cooking routines, and recipes designed to support active lifestyles and busy people.
I enjoy sharing fast and simple recipes that make healthy eating easy. From weeknight dinners to pre-game pasta, I love creating food that fuels the body and supports everyday energy and performance.
My food journey
Growing up in an Italian family, food has always been a big part of my life. I was lucky to learn from my mum and Nonna, where I developed an appreciation for simple, home-cooked meals.
But it wasn’t until I moved out and started cooking for myself that I truly understood the power of food, especially its impact on energy, recovery, and performance. Over time, I’ve learnt to tune into what my body needs, fuelling it with the right balance of carbs, protein and fats to support intense training sessions and games.
Now, my approach to cooking is all about creating simple, satisfying meals that fit into a busy lifestyle.
OnTrac5 offers a collection of recipes designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Each dish is created with intention, focusing on wholesome ingredients and simple preparation methods. My recipes aim to empower you to make healthier choices without sacrificing taste or time.
OnTrac5 is built on the values that guide everything I create, from the recipes I share to the way I connect with my community.
Simplicity
I focus on recipes that are easy to follow and simple to incorporate into everyday life.
Performance
I design meals to fuel the body, supporting both physical activity and overall well-being.
Authenticity
I share real recipes I cook at home, straight from my kitchen to yours.
Community
For me, OnTrac5 is about more than recipes. It is about bringing people together through shared meals and healthy living.
I'm a professional Australian Rules footballer for the Gold Coast Suns Football Club.
