Example Bodybuilding Diet For Beginners

By Phil Sims

Here is a nice basic diet based for new bodybuilders looking to build muscle fast. The example diet is based around a 200lb bodybuilder so slight adjustments may need to be made.  If you are not gaining any weight then add some more calories and if you are gaining too quickly then take some off.

A good ratio of macronutrients, plenty of protein for muscle breakdown repair, energy for your workouts from the carbohydrates and a good amount of fat to keep out hormonal requirements fuelled with the addition of some essential fatty acids.

A nice range of vitamins and minerals from out vegetables, fruit and salads. You can always add a multivitamin to the equation to make sure this department is up to scratch.

Along with the following diet plan I would consume 4-5 litres of water daily.

Note that this is just an example, adjustments will need to be made based on your own metabolism but this is a good start to work from. Also vary your food choices.
