Eating Like a Bodybuilder

Eating Like a Bodybuilder

"EATING AS A BODYBUILDER, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO EAT 6 TO 10 MEALS A DAY WITH NO F*CKING EXCUSES."

When you’re training as a professional bodybuilder, you burn a ton of calories every day and it’s difficult to replace all the energy you spent training with just a measly 3 meals a day. You must eat enough meals to support the type of aggressive mass-building you are working towards. You may think “I can’t eat any more,” but are you already eating every 2.5 hours? No? Then you’re not eating enough! To figure out how much you need to eat, simply weigh yourself. If like Rich you weigh 380 lbs., you need to be eating 380 grams of protein a day. So, if you’re eating 8 meals a day, that’s 50 grams of protein PER MEAL! Depending on how much you train, you could need to consume even more; the more active you are, the more protein you will need to support your muscle growth. On top of that, you must make sure the food you are eating is coming from the right sources and being prepared the right way. You want protein from a variety of sources: eggs, steak, chicken, dairy, and fish. In addition, you want to choose leaner versions of that protein (lean steak, chicken without the skin, etc.).

"WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY. YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES."


Once you have your whole-food meals figured out, you must find a way to consume more calories, as excess calories are essential to your body’s ability to repair the tissue damage that can come with heavy training. It can be difficult to increase the number of calories you consume from whole-food sources alone, on top of eating as many times a day as possible. This is where supplements can be helpful in achieving your goals, allowing you to consume calories between meals to keep your energy up. Products Like Real Carbs, can be helpful to achieving your goals. This intake of calories can also help to prevent you from getting hungry between meals, which can be a big help to people who find themselves eating the wrong foods when they get hungry. Supplementation, eating the right foods, and eating 6 to 10 meals a day will help you eat like a bodybuilder too.
