I oddly love the hunger and dieting aspect of prep (on some level you gave to love it to compete), but for the days I don’t I find it’s the little things that make it easy.
Frozen blue berries- usually knocks out any sweet cravings.
Shredded iceberg lettuce- I’ve carried bags around with me before and if I’m still hungry the crunch and taste of almost empty calories takes it away.
The biggest thing I think a lot of guys neglect in dieting (and bodybuilding in general) is using vegetables. If you have eggs/whites for breakfast- make an omelette loaded with veggies like mushrooms, tomatoes onions and spinach.
Sauces- unless you’re in the last few weeks use sauces like Flavor Gang or Ketchup. And it goes without saying season your food. A little garlic and sea salt goes a long way. Lol
I think some guys think dieting has to be torture. This sport is a lifestyle so get creative.
