Bodybuilding Nutrition Protein Requirements Carbohydrates and Fats

Advanced bodybuilding nutrition is believed to be extremely important in preparation of a bodybuilder’s competition. Protein requirements vary for different stages as well as different needs. Plus, carbohydrates and fats play an important role in advanced bodybuilding nutrition.

Most champion bodybuilders agree that a proper approach to nutrition is at least 75% of the battle, particularly in terms of achieving contest definition. Entire books have been written on the subject. I will give you a good beginning on the subject of advanced bodybuilding nutrition, but you should refine it with further study.

One of the biggest secrets in bodybuilding is the realization that no single dietary or training technique will work for every bodybuilder. Therefore, I will give you general, advanced nutritional guidelines and then it becomes your responsibility to determine the exact dietary philosophy that works best for you. As in developing a training philosophy, this involves trying every possible food element in your diet for a few weeks at a time to decide if, and how well, it works for you.

During a two- or three-week trial with a food element, you can monitor your body’s biofeedback to determine what effect that food or bodybuilding supplements has had on your body. As an example, if you ate a pint of pistachio ice cream every day for three weeks, a certain piece of biofeedback data (the fact that you’re growing incredibly fat) will tell you that food’s effect on your body.

Try to decide if a new food element gives you greater workout energy. Does it allow you to sleep better and recuperate more completely? Does it make your skin healthier looking? Does it help to define you before a show, or does it prevent you from achieving maximum muscular definition? How does it affect your range of emotions? By monitoring all of the biofeedback that your body eventually provides you, you can develop an instinct for how a training or dietary factor is working in your body. Instinctive training ability - for both training and diet - is one of the most valuable skills any bodybuilder can develop.
