Nutritional requirements for a Bodybuilder

Eating like a body builder will help you build muscle, lose excess weight, and maintain a healthy weight if you follow it strictly. The basic idea is to eat a diet high in protein and fiber, and low in carbohydrates and fat. Provided here is a sample diet.


Follow the meals exactly, adding at least 5 fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. An easy way to do this is to mix the proteins with salad fixings and incorporate the flaxseed (which can be substituted for olive oil) into a healthy unprocessed salad dressing. Spices can be used but not in extremes. No thick and creamy salad dressings. Use salt sparingly, good alternatives are Mrs. Dash seasonings. Sugar is something to avoid at all costs, if you like sugar and cream in your morning coffee, try using skim milk and stevia as healthier alternatives.


Eat a meal at every 2-3 hours. If you miss a meal, you don't get to make up for it at the next meal. You will be having protein matched with a carb, and incorporating vegetables and fiber into your diet to help sustain your health and keep you feeling full.

• Incorporate flaxseeds and flaxseed oil into your diet. Flaxseeds and flaxseed oils are available in many stores; you can also find bread and cereals containing flaxseed. Alternatively, you may take flaxseed oil capsules (1000 mg; can be found at nutritional supplement stores). Be warned, however, that pills may be unsatisfactory substitutes for natural flaxseed, as many health-promoting components in flaxseed may be lost during the processing in making the pills. The pills are not FDA approved, with research still in its infancy. Flax may help to curb your appetite and trick the body into thinking it's getting enough fat so that it will release fat stores and reduce overall inflammation of joints.
• Water is very important, not only when dieting but also on a day-to-day basis. Some people are so dehydrated, that they confuse it for hunger pains. One common guideline is to divide your weight (in pounds) by two. The resulting number is the number of ounces of water you need each day. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs., strive to drink 75 ounces of water daily. For those who use the metric system, divide your weight (in kilograms) by 30 (ex. somebody weighing 70 kg is going to need 2.3 liters per day). Drink at least this amount every day, especially if you're exercising. Learn to love the taste of water, and see How to Drink More Water Every Day for more details.

In the game of basketball, a double dribble is a violation in which a player dribbles the ball, clearly holds it with a combination of either one or two hands (while either moving or stationary), and then proceeds to dribble again without first either attempting a field goal or passing off to a teammate. Double dribbling can also occur if a player tries to dribble using both hands at the same time.
 Lebron James dribbles the ball, and then dribbles again (double dribble) and travels 2 to 3 steps, it looks like he's pivoting but hes actually shuffling across the floor and not only gets every call but he gets away with blatant double dribble in Game 2 no call or mention of it on TV
