High Protein Menu (40/40/20)
Bodybuilders need to consume a lot more protein than ordinary for putting on muscle mass. Additionally, when a bodybuilder is attempting to lose fat, he or she must cut calories while simultaneously keeping a high protein intake.
While dieting, a bodybuilder will typically perform cardio exercise in addition to weights. Consequently his or her calorie needs are higher than a sedentary dieter. 2500 calories is used as an example which would be suitable for an active male bodybuilder under about 180lbs.
It can become very expensive to eat a high protein diet consuming only lean meats and fish, thus it is recommended that you include some protein supplements to avoid overconsumption of fat and excessive expenses.
- Breakfast: High Protein Oatmeal with 2% Milk and Flaxseed

- Snack: 2% Cottage Cheese with Pineapple Chunks
