3 Nutrition Points For Female Bodybuilder’s

Lots of women are going on a diet and their body are meticulous. The discipline and consistency of dieting displayed by female body builders is unequaled. Yet despite this zeal and conscious discipline in following up a dieting program, most female body builders falter on what can be regarded as trivial’s of dieting. These trivial’s add up to such consequences that are gigantic in magnitude.

The first of these wrongly perceived trivial’s is salads. A woman on a strict diet will adamantly refuse to take a cup of tea with a quarter-spoon cream and yet consume a saucer-plate full of salad. Salads are a renown source of natural nutrients and are also very popular due to their low levels of saturated fats and also simple carbohydrates. It is therefore not a wonder to see body builders overlooking perfectly healthy snacks for a salad drenching. Most of these salads are drenched in bacon and croûtons which are loaded in concentrated fats and mountain hills of calories. To make matters worse, most of the contemporary presentations of salads are scant on nutrients. Salads therefore end up sabotaging a diet for the female body builder. Healthy salads should focus on nutrients and calorie rating by incorporating such essentials as spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, lean proteins, low fat cheese and beans.

Secondly, most female body builders like to skip breakfast in a bid to reduce calorie intake. Research has irrefutably established that people who eat a healthy breakfast with adequate levels of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and even healthy fats manage to loose weight more efficiently and faster than those who skip breakfast. This is because a person’s metabolism slows down during the night when he or she is sleeping and it is the breakfast that ignites it back to action. As such the body is able to burn more calories during the day after it was stimulated by a healthy breakfast more than it does when it remains passive. Further, a healthy breakfast prevents the bodybuilder from overeating during the day because there is no need to recover what was missed in the morning.

Thirdly, the misplaced myth that reduced-fat foods are safe whatever quantities one consumes. To begin with, ‘reduced fat’ is a modern relative term that does not at all quantify the amount of fats incorporated in the food. Whatever is labeled reduced fat doesn’t guarantee a low calorie intake. Secondly, low fat plus more low fat adds up to a lot of fat. Easy mathematics, yet a mystery among women who continue increasing body fats despite eating reduced fat foods exclusively.

Even if a product has a half percentage of the original fat, eating too much of it will have the same effect of eating fatty foods. In fact even the 30% reduced fat content is so much fat for one serving. What is important is the absolute values of fat contents and calorie yields not percentage of fat reduction. It is even healthier to eat fatty foods in moderation than eating reduced fat foods with wantonness.
