How does a vegan diet affect the performance of bodybuilders? Diet Vegan Nutrition BodyBulding IJERPH_MDPI uniurbit
By Suchandrima BhowmikMar 19 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. Many athletes compete on a high level without consuming animal products; however, even though a vegan diet may be appropriate at all stages of life, there are certain factors to take into consideration when establishing a balanced plant-based diet for athletes, especially in bodybuilding, where muscle growth is emphasized, while aesthetics are judged.
An adequately designed vegan diet can meet the protein requirements of an athlete through only whole foods but might not be suitable to maximize muscle growth. Judgment of athletes takes place according to their muscular proportions, muscle size, and conditioning in competitive bodybuilding. Athletes undergo extensive resistance training and dietary manipulations to reduce fat mass and increase muscle mass.
The quantities of food were recorded in portions or grams, along with information on dietary supplement consumption. Analysis of the participant's diet took place using the WinFood nutritional analysis software. Information on the daily intake of macronutrients was collected in grams per kilogram of body weight .
