Bodybuilding & Martial Arts Nutrition

[Braven]

Im sick of feeling flabby and unhealthy and having no social life so im going to be going back (after 4 years ) to train some kickboxing and submission grappling. Only issue is I was wondering how this would effect my bodybuilding goals. Obviously im gonna be burning alot more calories on these days than normal workout days. I know there must be others who train both MMA/MA and bodybuild so was hoping you could shed some light on how you structure your diet and avoid overtraining, also as far as carb cycling goes when would you have your high days?

Im weighing in at 210lbs now and havn't checked BF but im guessing it gone up to around 15-18%, so obviously want to get the BF down and increase muscle. Also im wanting to do this naturally, so nutrition is the key.

My shedule would be:
Mon: weights
Tue: MMA
Wed:weights
Thu:MMA
Fri:weights
Sat + sun: relax

The days in which I can train MMA are structured so the lifting has to work around those 2 days.

Thanks in advance for any info and advice

I was hoping some of the guys would chime in.

so I will tell you what I did. I kept the protein up and the good fats up to my normal #'s which are 280 grams protein and 100-130 grams fats. 6-8 meals per day.

I upped my carbs from 100 grams to sometimes 400 grams on training days. The weight comes off slowely, but I am able to train without crazhing. The training will pull the weight off this way and not the doet or you will get fatigued and open to injury.

I think you need to get your condition high before you can cut when you are starting a program like this. I eat about 1000 calories a day past what most women my size do and I am slowely but surely leaning out

Just don't try and do too much at once is what I'm saying
