Fitness and strength are the two important things in every youngster’s life these days. Some people want to lose weight and get into better shape. On the other hand, some want to put on weight and build their body’s muscles. Bodybuilding has drawn many people towards it. Along with weightlifting, you need to take up a proper and updated diet too. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar brings a diet for bodybuilders.
A bodybuilder may have some goals in mind. He may either be looking forward to enrolling himself in sports or wants to increase his overall strength.
There are two phases in the overall dier plan of a bodybuilder. One is the bulking phase and the next is the cutting phase. In the bulking phase, the bodybuilder eats a lot of calories and a diet is rich in proteins. The goal is to build as many muscles as possible. In the cutting phase, the goal is to lose the fat and retain the muscles built during the bulking phase.
In both phases, bulking and cutting, you don’t need to change the type of food you eat. You just need to vary the amount of food intake.
Starting with meats and fish, you can eat ground beef, chicken breasts, salmon, and pork.
Do not miss the dairy products. They contain a lot of protein. Yogurt, cheese, and low-fat milk are must-haves.
For vegetarians, you need to eat the right fruits and vegetables. Oranges, apples, watermelon, berries, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and mushrooms. Potatoes contain a lot of starch so add them to your list too.
Seeds and nuts also contain proteins. Almonds and walnuts are some good options.
You need to avoid foods that contain a lot of sugar and are deep-fried to attain your goal.
This is a natural diet you can even add some supplements after consulting a dietician.
