Nutrition
When people think of bodybuilding, they consider weight training the key component, but nutrition is almost as important in achieving the physical shape you desire. If you eat junk food, all the weight lifting in the world won’t produce a top-notch body. In recent years, we’ve learned a great deal about the importance of nutrition. Sure, we all slip up and eat things we shouldn’t, and body- builders are no exception. It’s not as if you can never cheat again if you’re going to be a successful bodybuilder, but a major part of your training must be watching what you eat. Just as you need to understand your muscles and how they work, you need to be aware of the basics of nutrition: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Each plays a critical role in your diet. What do we mean by _diet_? To many people, _diet_ means counting calories and starving themselves. That form of dieting is normally counter- productive. You may limit calories enough to lose weight for a short while, but almost invariably you gain it back.

In bodybuilding, diet simply means your overall eating habits. To add muscle, you have consume a lot of calories. You can’t get huge by eating like a bird. Train big, eat big, sleep big
That’s the advice some people give. Naturally, what you eat is critical. For instance, if you take in too much fat, you won’t achieve outstanding muscle donation. Bodybuilders face the delicate balance of eating enough to gain muscle mass but keeping their body fat percentage low enough for donation (about 8% to 11% for men and 7% to 9% for women). There’s no single perfect diet for everyone, just as there’s no perfect weight training regimen for everyone. As you learn about nutrition, you’ll be able to craft an eating plan that helps you achieve your fitness goal. Knowledge is power both in weight lifting and in eating. The two go hand in hand.
In the past, most people considered three square meals a day as the best diet. Nutritionists have learned that eating fewer, smaller meals each day

PROTEIN
Of the three macronutrients, protein is the most critical for bodybuilders. Protein is responsible for growth, maintenance, and repair of muscle tissue, which is why top bodybuilders constantly monitor their protein intake. In general, a bodybuilder needs twice as much protein as the average
person. The best sources of protein are eggs, poultry, meat, and dairy products the animal proteins. Plant proteins from foods like rice, beans, corn, peas, and nuts are not as easily
assimilated into the body as animal proteins.

CARBOHYDRATES

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. Although protein and fat supply some energy, about 50% of a bodybuilder’s calories should come from carbohydrates. Carbs fall into two categories: simple and complex. Simple carbs provide a quick burst of energy. When they are digested, they turn into glucose, a major source of energy that can be burned rapidly.
Candy is one example of a simple carb; fruit is another, healthier type Complex carbs, on the other hand fuel the body over a longer period of time. Everyone needs both types of
Carbohydrates, but bodybuilders should focus on complex carbs because they provide a more sustained energy supply throughout the day mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini. Examples of sources of starchy carbs are red beans, corn, oatmeal, peas, pasta, potatoes, rice, and tomatoes.

GENERAL EATING GUIDELINES

Because of the almost in_nite variety of food choices, it’s difficult to provide sample menus that would suit everyone and meet each person’s individual needs. Other books are devoted entirely
to diet and food preparation for body- builders. Here we’ll touch on some of the broad _dos_ and don’ts_ of food selection and preparation. Pay attention to the ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in your meals. Ideally, your diet should consist of about 50% carbs, 35% protein, and 15% fat. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned or frozen ones. The latter often contain sugar, salt, and preservatives that can be harmful. Select fresh meats instead of processed meats (like lunch meat) for the same reason that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat white meat (such as chicken breasts) instead of dark meat (such as chicken thighs), because white meat has less fat. Remove the skin to further reduce the fat. Eat _sh, which typically has even less fat than white meat. A popular choice for bodybuilders is tuna,which is inexpensive and easy to take with you, since it_s canned and requires no refrigeration. Select tuna that’s packed in spring water, not
oil. Oil contains many useless calories.
