Bodybuilding and Fitness Calorie Count Diet Plan
by Miss Abs
You want the body.
You will count reps in the gym.
You won't count calories!
Has it been a while since you have made a real difference in your physique?
Are you twelve weeks out and prepared to give up some of that muscle that
you created all winter? Want to know the about the ultimate growth
supplement?
Food and calories, there is it, the answer plain simple and to the point. Ok a
little basic for some but think about it, how often do you go to the gym day in
and out and watch people who never seem to change regardless of their
efforts in the gym. The problem lies within the diet or lack of. Diet doesn't
always mean trying to lose body fat, we need to think of diet as the vehicle
to accomplish the goals. After all aren't you there to make a difference in
your physique. You can't "get" where you want to go unless you know
where you are!
You diet for growth, fat loss, and just general health and well being. A diet
doesn't mean starvation, limited foods and choices, endless weight gainer
shakes, a diet just means that you have a well designed plan to accomplish
the goals for your physique. It is a plan to get you the results the more
energy you put into your "diet" the faster the results will happen for you. I
have had some of my biggest muscle growth while dieting for fat loss.
Some where someone has convinced you that you can't grow in a lean
body. It is not the lean body that doesn't allow the growth, it is lack of
calories in the right percentages that prevent it.
A "diet" ( plan) is a basic foundation for the time frame or goal you are
currently working on. Once you have the basic plan done, you can and
always will just make simple modifications depending on your next goal.
What is a calorie? Is it just simply a unit of energy, that is it! Something
we all wished we had more of energy. We are able to pick and choose
our energy units from protein, carbohydrates and fat. Each of course
having it owns sub macro. I am not going to get into that, I just want you
to have a easy to understand plan to grow muscle in the fastest simplest
method. I know many of you are can tell me to the number how many
calories you think you are eating, however I go back to my original
question, is your physique changing the way you want it to in the time
frame you set your goal on? I find that many athletes are actually
eating less food than they really think they are. Food must come from
actually "hardcore " calories of proteins and carbs and fat properly
balanced for your respective sport.
It is really a simple matter of determining how many calories you are
eating and in what percentages are you taking in the energy units
(calories).
If you are eating for growth obviously the more growth units you need,
protein. Endurance the more energy units you need, carbs. And of
course the dreaded fat units remember fat is not the enemy when
factored into a well-designed plan, it is just another source of energy
for our bodies to use.
The process:
Determine your current caloric intake, on the three energy units, protein,
arbs and fats. Calculate the percentage of each unit on the total.
Example: 2500 calorie diet with 375 grams of protein equals 60% of the
diet coming from protein.
It looks like this: 375 x 4 = 1500, grams converted to calories then
divided the calories by the total, 60%. Do this for carbs and fats as well
against the total calories.
Once understand how you are taking in your energy or growth units it is
very easy to map out a plan of attack for your goals and make adjustments
as needed.
It is not that difficult it only takes a calculator and knowing what you are
currently eating that is not getting you where you want to be and
designing a new plan (diet) from there adjusting the percentage of energy
and growth units for your specific sport and goals.
You plan your workouts, count your reps and poundage. On any given
second can tell someone what your one rep bench max is, add the missing
link to your success, count your calories and know your percentages of
fuel that you use and require for your body not anyone else's body.
Don't let another meal go by that isn't calculate for your personal physique
goals.
Train Hard and Count your calories!
