The Diet of a Body Builder
Body building is a system that requires a lot of attention if one is to succeed. One of such areas that require much attention is the diet. A body builder’s diet should be all inclusive. It is inclusive in the sense that it should contain that which the body requires in order to build muscles. This diet must not necessarily be so expensive.

Your diet should be high in starchy vegetables like Kale, Cabbage, carrots, Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes, Bamboo Shoots, Broccolli, Cauliflower, Collard Greens etc. Include legumes and small amounts of rice. Quinoa is also a good starch to power a workout and practice. Eat fats like pumpkin seeds, walnuts and peanut butter, salmon fish, Sardines and mackeral. Eat protein from fish I just mentioned and breast of the chicken with the fat cut away and lean meats from beef and eggs. Do not fry your protein foods but try to bake, broil or grill them. Make sure you drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated through workouts and throughout the day. The amount of protein that a person should consume should be about .7 to .8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. That is all that is required to fuel your workout. Do not be concern about protein shakes. They are a waste of money and do not replace a healthy diet planned diet. Also get yourself a calorie book to measure how much calories being consume to see how much calories you are consuming is affecting your diet. Also, take a vitamin pill to make sure you are getting all the minerals and vitamins and take an extra C vitamin to help with recovery.
