Dieta per bodybuilding

Panoramica

The bodybuilding diet is adjusted according to training goals (muscle gain - "bulking" or fat loss - "cutting"). Its core principles are adequate calorie intake, high-quality protein consumption, carbohydrate intake timed around workouts, and healthy fats. Nutrient timing and macronutrient distribution play a critical role in this diet.
