The purpose of writing this article is to find out and recommend calorie and energy profiles in shaping the stamina of football athletes in football schools. The search for this article uses a qualitative descriptive method through literature studies sourced from references that are willing to be studied conceptually and inferred from the results of the discussion. The results of this study show that the average calorie needs in the Defensive Lineman position requires as much as 6,100 - 6,400 kilo calories, in the Offensive Lineman position it requires as much as 6,200-6,500 kilo calories, in the Running Back position it requires as much as 5,700-6,000 kilo calories, in the Tight End position it requires as much as 6,000-6,300 kilo calories, the Linebacker needs as many as 5,900-6,200 kilo calories, and, in the Quarterback position, it needs as many as 5,200-5,400 kilo calories. Furthermore, the fulfillment of balanced nutrition for SSB football athletes that must be applied conditionally and proportionally is as follows Calories for football athletes are needed at 3542-4693 kilo calories per athlete per day, carbohydrate fulfillment for athletes as much as 531703 grams per athlete per day, protein fulfillment as much as 132-175 grams per athlete pr day, and fat fulfillment is needed at 118-156 grams per athlete per day.
