Low Fat Recipes
Low Fat Recipes
Pre-contest Diet
Requirement of low fat recipes crops up during run up to a contest.
The intensity of the pre-contest low fat diet plan depends on the physical
condition at that time and how many weeks there are remaining until
the competition. Most bodybuilders establish weekly as well as daily
checkpoints when on a low fat recipe diet, especially for the last couple
of weeks before a contest, to check that they look the way they want
to at various stages leading to the contest. If during these checkpoints
they feel that they are behind schedule, they go on a low fat diet plan
and reduce the caloric consumption through low fat recipes. Additionally,
they also supplement this with an increase in the amount of aerobic
training. On the other hand, when they are ahead of schedule, they change
from a low fat recipes to a high calorie/carbohydrate consumption plan
and reducing their aerobics. When these bodybuilders are ahead of schedule,
they change from low fat recipes to increased
fat consumption plans.
Proteins have been accepted as a great muscle building nutrient. Most bodybuilders during a peaking cycle consume protein only twice per day. However, when required, the consumption of proteins can be enhanced to three or four times per day. This is as a supplement to the low fat recipes that entails consuming of vitamin and mineral supplements before each meal. A typical low fat recipe plan is:
Pre-workout Meal. Two pieces of toast with jelly, hot cereal, small glass of juice.
Post-workout Meal. Water-packed tuna (with a little mustard or relish on it), plain bagel, iced tea.
Snack. (two hours after second meal) Bagel and an apple.
Snack (two hours later) Two pieces of toast and half a grapefruit.
Evening Meal (about-8:30 P.M.) Plain, boiled fish, dry baked potato, salad with lemon slices, perhaps a steamed vegetable, water or a glass of dry white wine.
When compared to most other pre-contest nutritional programs, this example is a working yet a low fat recipes diet. However, all low fat recipes need to be kept simple for them to work. If a bodybuilder sticks to the basics, he will definitely come out ahead in the long run with a minimum of confusion and by following a diet of low fat recipes.
