Tips for bodybuilders

After dreaming of eating a variation of food for the last 12 weeks I decided to put all my dreams into writing for this. Below I will give options and examples of some of my favorite meals.

The off-season meals (OFF SEASON meaning bulking, not worrying about abs, just wanting to get bigger and get more calories into the diet) will be tasty and sometimes a little different, but most if not all will have adequate protein. The In Season meals (IN SEASON meaning cutting body fat, trying to get abs and just leaning down in general, but not competing as a lot of the carb, protein and fat content isn't measured) will be a variety of ways to eat healthy meals that will be different and still help you to reach your goals in stead of eating boring 6 egg whites, chicken breast and tuna by themselves.

When in season the meal suggested may still have to be a cheat meal for the week but it will be a tasty, healthy cheat meal.
