Organization of healthy nutrition of the bodybuilder

The healthy nutrition of the bodybuilder consists not less than of six small meals a day. Not to break this mode, the bodybuilder has to think of food necessary for it in advance. Well once a week to cook to itself necessary food – to have it near at hand in the fridge that day when you have no time.

Here what you can make:

To weld in a pan it is a lot of eggs – they maintain in the fridge more than 1 week.
To bake several chicken breasts – are stored in the fridge of 5 days.
To wash up a lot of green salad and fresh onions, at first to allow them to dry, then to cut, and in the closed capacity to put in the fridge, without adding either oil, or vinegar there – maintain, at least, 4 days.
To weld 1 packing of basmati rice – 3 days are stored in the fridge.

To support the program of the food, tanks of the different size where he will put the food will be necessary for the bodybuilder and also food wrap – in which it will be able to wrap fruit or sandwiches.

The diet is extremely important for the bodybuilder, and the admission at least of one meal is inadmissible. And if it is a shame to you to get a box with food in the presence of others, think that in the summer on the beach others will be ashamed.

One prevention: do not buy what you are not going to eat. Those purchases which look "almost" harmlessly are the most artful. If, for example, you bake the whole chicken – be sure that some minute of weakness you will eat both a thigh, and a wing.

Let's list some general rules of healthy nutrition of the bodybuilder:

Do not mix carbohydrates.
Avoid food with high content of both carbohydrates, and fats.
Always eat proteins or good fats with each carbohydrate of the low glycemic index.
Eat vegetable fibers at each meal.
Always add 2-3 spoons of olive oil to salads.
During the day often drink water.
Avoid to drink mineral water, industrial fruit juice, soft drinks and alcohol (including beer) as these products consist generally of "empty" calories and complicate fat splitting.
At least, once a week abstain from any kinds of physical exercises, and eat this day much and well.
Usually for a polchal prior to a training it is possible to have a bite (not later) – for example, one apple. If it is about full-fledged food – between it and the break has to be not less than two-three hours a training.
Always weigh the food.

Some more secrets of food of the bodybuilder:

In cocktail which you drink right after the training there has to be a protein, creatine and banana.
After the training always eat firm food. That is, meat, a bird or fish together with rice or pasta. Food after the training has to be the most saturated.
Buy the black bread which is already cut by chunks.
Before food always wash away both water, and fish canned food oil.
Do not take eggs, too big by the size, because in them there can be two yolks, and so you will lose count of calories necessary for you.

Creatine in food of the bodybuilder

In days of trainings to accept 3-4 grams after classes.
A days when there are no trainings, to dissolve 3-4 grams in juice which you drink in the morning. In 5 minutes after that it is possible to eat.
In reception it is desirable to do 3-4 weeks of a break – not to spoil an organism.
If you want to accept creatine constantly, in it there will be nothing terrible. Just track that the dose did not exceed 3 grams a day.
Keep in mind that the bigger amount of creatine does not mean the best results at all. In effect, he jumps out in vain.
