The Bodybuilding Dietitians

Not all “high-protein” foods are created equal. While protein balls and bars might seem like an idealistic way to boost your intake, the real question is - how practical are they?

We’ve all heard about the benefits of a higher-protein diet, but how much do you really need? What are the best sources of high-quality protein? And how should you space your intake for maximum results?

Managing hunger in a calorie deficit is a critical component of sustainable fat loss. Not all foods provide the same level of satiety, and selecting foods that maximise fullness (within reason) can improve adherence and long-term success.

This is a reminder that if you truly want to give someone a compliment on their personal success – credit their WORK, not their genetics.

Struggling to hit your daily fibre target? We have you covered!

Competing in a bodybuilding competition for the first time is an exciting journey, but it’s also a decision that should be approached with careful consideration.

Keep charging forward, even when the journey challenges you, because the satisfaction of overcoming testing obstacles and achieving your dreams will be worth every ounce of effort.

Are meal plans the key to success or a potential setback?

Nutrition panels are a valuable tool for making informed food choices. They provide essential information about what’s in your food, from macronutrients to fibre and beyond. However, they’re only part of the equation.

In the context of bodybuilding, merely meeting baseline requirements is insufficient for those aspiring to greatness.

Improving as a physique athlete and successfully pursuing the sport of bodybuilding requires far more than just nailing your daily training and nutrition.

Bodybuilding competition prep requires intelligent planning and structure, not a "freestyle" approach, to ensure success, health, and enjoyment. While every athlete's journey is unique, following evidence-based principles and working with a reputable coach is crucial to stepping on stage with confidence and pride.

Adherence is the defining factor that separates amateurs from professionals in bodybuilding. While amateurs often struggle with sticking to their plans, for professionals, execution is a non-negotiable baseline. Success at the elite level isn’t just about following a plan, it’s about the intelligence behind the strategy and the effort poured into every detail. If you’re striving to compete at the top, the conversation with your coach should focus on refining the plan, not your ability to stick to it.

Calories require context!

Dear competitors, these are the hard truths of bodybuilding.
