I just love answering these diet help questions. Here’s another:
Question: Im 6′3…235lbs…and i wanna start a work out program to get me to a lean/fit 205….i want to start training for mma. i got my work out all figured out…i just don’t have any idea what to do for a diet….any advice appreciated.
Answer: When you start training MMA assuming it’s a gym ask them to help you get your diet in order. Any decent trainer should have some info on that.
Otherwise lean proteins (fish, eggs, chicken, lean beef, beans, nuts, peanut butter, cottage cheese, milk), lots of fruit and vegetables (pick something you like and try to mix it up). Complex carbs (whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta etc.
If possible try for smaller more frequent meals.
I also suggest a protein supplement such as whey protein. Also multivitamin, creatine and ZMA if desired. The last two being not necessary.
Good ideas for snacks are almonds, peanut butter, cottage cheese. Fruits/vegetables.
Quit drinking alcohol and if you can only drink water or possibly sports drinks depending on how hard you work out.
Good luck!
