Mixed Martial Arts Nutrition
Diet plans for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu/ Mixed Martial Arts?
Hi, I’m 15 yrs old, weigh 146, and about 5,8.
I want to lose some of my extra fat, I want to be a little more lean, so i can move a little better. (I have about 15% body fat according to the BMI scale)
I would like to start a diet, but I just don’t know what foods are good for me, what types of nutrition facts i should be looking out for etc.
Any advice would be great!
(btw i usually take kre alkalyn and glutamine, i just ran out of the glutamine and one of by friends gave me some of his labrada super charge to try it gave me a great pump! What do u all think of that product?)
Personally at 15, I don’t think you or anyone should be taking supplements unless prescribed by your doctor.
If you want to lose fat cut back on salt and red meat. Cut out sugar from pop and candy. Drink plenty of water and eat a lot of fresh vegetables and salad. Lean cuts of meat and fish are great sources of protein with very little fat.
Control your serving sizes and try to have a little something every few hours. If your body thinks that you are starving it can start to store fat for energy later on rather than burn it off.
Which brings me to exercise. Keep active, cardio is great for burning fat but if you lift weights this helps too.
15% body fat is well within a normal range for a male.
If you really want to diet speak with your family doctor. Your doctor will be familiar with your health history and should be able to help you plan a safe diet strategy.
Good luck.
