Nutrition in body building is very important for anyone serious about the sport. Good nutrition is essential for a healthy life, but it is most important for a body builder to have effective workouts and grow muscles quickly and efficiently. What type of nutrition should you have to become successful in your body building quest?
You need to first have a diet that is high in protein. That means eating a lot of chicken, fish, and meat. Chicken and fish are best for you because of their low fat content. Although fats are important in body building nutrition, you still must be careful that your fat consumption doesn’t contribute to health problems.
Another big part of healthy body building nutrition intake is to be sure that you consume lots of carbohydrates. Carbs are very important because they provide the primary energy source for our body from the foods we eat. You will need lots of energy to complete an intense workout which will build your muscles quicker and more efficiently.
Complex carbohydrates are the best carbs to take in. These can be found in foods such as whole grain rice, whole grain breads, and pasta. Be sure to take your carbohydrates with protein for maximum efficiency.
Fats are also very important in body building nutrition. Believe it or not, fats actually do good in our bodies providing insulation for body parts like the heart and lungs as well as making energy when the fats break down. Of course, you will want to consume the good fats as opposed to the bad ones so that you don’t gain weight through fat intake.
Saturated fats are the worst fats to take in. These are fats like animal lard and butter. Saturated fats are those that stay solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats are the “good fats”, but they also should be consumed in moderation. Olive oil and flaxseed oil are good unsaturated fats. They stay liquid when at room temperature.
A very important fat group that can help both your body and mind are Omega 3 fatty acids that are found in fish. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to combat depression, fend off fatigue, and give you energy you need to workout.
You should also include a lot of fresh vegetables in your diet. Foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots give you many vitamins and minerals that are necessary for a healthy body. Fruit should be consumed in moderation as they naturally contain a certain amount of sugar naturally. Too much sugar can hinder your progress.
In the sport of body building, nutrition is just as important as lifting weights and exercising. Getting good nutrition is essential for an effective body building routine. Eat what’s good for you and what your body needs without over-indulging too much. Then sit back and watch your body grow!

I tell the clients doing personal training in Singapore with me, that their weight loss diet plan is, in most regards even harder to stick to than training.
Training is 4-6 times per week for 30 min to 90 min. That is only a fraction of your life. However, eating right is a constant battle since you should be eating often.
The great thing is that once you learn and have the habit of preparing food, eating correctly is not a burden at all. That’s when you know that your weight loss diet plan is in full swing.
As a personal trainer in Singapore (which is a food crazy county!), I love cooking for myself (I don’t love doing dishes but it’s a necessary evil, and having home cooked food is worth the trouble) and once you do it, there is no turning back.
In fact I find myself having less and less cravings for poor food choices (Making it even easier to stick to the weight loss diet plan). In addition, when you eat well you are “fine tuning” your car (body) to like and accept only the top quality fuels.
Your taste preferences change and you reap the benefit of the improved fuel choices in your weight loss diet plan. Once you notice these benefits – health, fat loss, improved energy, no drowsy periods of the day etc, there is no turning back. The common “journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step” saying really does apply to dietary change.
Here is my “Singapore personal trainer tip-sheet” to getting that weight loss diet plan up and running.
Tip 1: Animal eating and other good protein sources – get some of these every meal the benefits of protein are just great!
Tip 2: Timing is important especially for starchy carbohydrates. Only in the morning and after training are these starches put to good use. If you are a former fat boy like myself I wouldn’t even eat them in the morning.
Tip 3: Plan and prepare. This applies to cooking and shopping and even dining out. There is almost no way to consistently succeed in eating the right thing if you don’t prepare. I know that I eat poorer not because of desire for junk food, but because situations that I was not prepared for came up and interfered with my eating plan. When dining out, feel free to ask for modified foods on the menu. E. g. “May I have the Lamb chops with no potato but more steamed veggies please”. ”
Tip 4: You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to be very, very good. Perfection is impossible and also unnecessary. Plan (yup there is that “p” word again) a few imperfect meals each week, time with family, friends and even a scoop of ice cream. No need to be a social outcast just because you want to be healthy. But the remainder of the time, be ruthlessly excellent with your eating.
Tip 5: Cut out non-water drinks. One of the easiest and most powerful habits to implement. Calories in drinks come mostly from high fructose corn syrup or plain white sugar. Both of these make the “badness” factor go up really quickly and without warning – it’s scary. Ok fine, a black coffee in the morning, and some unsweetened herbal drinks/teas are ok.
Tip 6: If you are hungry, eat something. This means eating often – like every 2-3 hours. Don’t fall into the “I’ll get fit by starving” foolishness, or the “I’m busy, food doesn’t matter” misconception (My experience as a personal trainer in Singapore tell me that these misconceptions are pretty widespread).
The former is just malnutrition waiting to happen, and the latter can be “planned away” so it doesn’t occur. A missed meal is as bad for you as an unhealthy meal. Your many meals each day don’t need to be fancy affairs. A cup of low fat yogurt and a handful of nuts is a good “meal” that can take you from mid-morning till lunch in a healthy way.
