In fact, the diet of bodybuilders can be said to be very monotonous. All the year round, the same ingredients are selected, the same cooking methods are used, and occasionally some seasonings are changed to enhance the taste. This is also what bodybuilders often say. Eating is the first lesson of fitness. If you can't learn the first lesson, no matter how hard you train, the effect will be discounted.
There are three main types of ingredients in daily diet: meat, vegetables and staple food. Beef is rich in protein and low in fat, which is very suitable for fitness enthusiasts. Chicken breast has a low fat content and is generally used in the fat reduction period or preparation period. Because the price is relatively cheap, chicken breast is the most common meat for bodybuilders.
Reduce fat and gain muscle.
Bodybuilding training can be simply divided into two purposes: reducing fat and increasing muscle. But in fact, while gaining muscle, it will inevitably increase the body's fat content, and reducing fat will inevitably reduce the body's muscle content. As amateur bodybuilders, we often lose weight while gaining muscle.
A big difference between amateur bodybuilders and professional bodybuilders is that there is no specific period to gain muscle and lose fat, and there is no deliberate requirement for diet. The requirement is to gradually gain muscle and lose fat, but the speed is slow and it is easy to encounter bottlenecks, but the advantage is relatively healthy. Professional bodybuilders generally increase their basic diet after high-intensity daily training in the off-season, mainly to gain muscle, and the side effect is that body fat will also increase.
