Dieting for Pro's

[stanio115]

i m not much of a"diet guy" never been and never will,so a Q for the nutrition "specialists" ...What is the calorie intake on a pro , let s say teh size of J or Ron - 5'10ish, 300ish, 12 weeks pre contest...? considering that both of them are guys who stay pretty lean off season,

I would think it would vary dramatically from individual to individual considering everyone's different metabolism, level of daily activity, genetics, etc.

Between 2 and 7k calories.

2-7 is a huuuge difference

2-7 is a huuuge difference

I think that was the point....

I'm nowhere in the realm of those guys, but do weigh as much. My diet honestly ranges anywhere from 2-7k calories just depending on how hungry I am and what bodyparts I'm training. The month before my last contest, I ate around 4k calories per day.

Between 2 and 7k calories.

I personally feel it may be between 2-8k calories

well we have already see what pros eat.
Shelby , Emeric , Phil even Big A has posted some of their diets as well as some future pros like Mountaindog and b-boy.

I care almost as much about what a pro eats as what drugs he takes , nobody will every know exactly and im pretty sure it changes from show to show

From what I have seen they just eat a lot more fish and veg.

We can't tell you the number or you'll become a pro, too.

It doesn't matter really. Eat enough food to build muscle and that's it. If you are putting on fat cut your cals. Remember, if you take in more calories than you burn off you gain fat, less and you lose fat. This is true for anyone!
