The goal of a bodybuilding weight loss diet is to reduce weight
and in particularly bodyfat. For bodybuilding weight loss purposes, a general guidline should be as
follows in terms of nutrient consumption
Approximatley
2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight
1 grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight
.25 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight
So using the example of a 200 pound bodybuilder, this would
mean approximately:
400 grams of protein per day
200 grams of carbs per day
50 grams of fat per day
Total Calories per day: 2,850
A sample bodybuilding weight loss diet to keep lean
muscle mass and melt away bodyfat would be based around frequent consumption
of small meals.
Eating 6 times per day is necessary in my experience for
the purposes of weight loss and reduction of body fat. All measurements
given are dry or uncooked...We are also going to suggest that you give
yourself Sunday as a "Cheat Day" where you consume whatever
you want in whatever quantities. This will keep you motivated once Monday comes
rolling around.
It would also be neccessary to supplement the diet with
an advanced high quality protein blend.
And it is very important to follow a weight training program and very
important to do cardio 4-6 times per week at a moderate pace and on an
incline.
