Competing in bodybuilding isn’t just a test of discipline, it’s also a serious financial commitment. From coaching and supplements to makeup and federation fees, the expenses can creep up very quickly for the unprepared.
Your weekly grocery trip doesn’t just have an impact on your overall health status… however it can potentially influence your long-term financial status too.
When it comes to structuring a high protein diet, protein efficiency (the percentage of total calories derived from protein) can make a significant impact on how effectively you reach your daily targets.
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.
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.
