Dieting For Womens Bodybuilding
Women’s bodybuilding is an intense sport that requires dedication and planning. The diet is fundamentally the most important part of this plan. Proper planning will lead to long-term success.
To start, get a piece of paper out and write out the meals you’ll eat tomorrow. Include the exact time you’ll eat it too. This will take away any form of emotion when it comes to eating. No long will you be sitting in the kitchen, hungry, wondering what you’ll have to eat. You’ll just eat what’s on your piece of paper, without a thought. You also need to calibrate your diet every week. Sit down and evaluate your success or failure. If you’re trying to put on muscle, you need to be gaining weight. If you’re trying to cut the fat off your body, you should be going down in weight. Calibrate accordingly by increasing or decreasing the amount you eat.
As for the amount of protein you should be eating. Good fair number is 1.5g/1lb of weight. If you weigh 120lbs, that means you eat 180g of protein a day. If you’re eating 6 meals a day, which means each meal will have 30g of protein. No more, no less. Remember to space out your protein throughout the day, since your muscles repair throughout the day.
Ingest your dietary fat during periods of down time like before bed. Eat your carbs before you workout, so you’ll have a lot of energy. Eat carbs after too, to replenish your body the lost glycogen reserves.
Follow these rules and you’ll be a success in no time at women’s bodybuilding. Follow the diet to a “T” and you’ll always meet your goals.
