  • Without a consistent nutritional approach to back it up, even the best muscle gaining training protocol can end up being a fat-loss program or a fat-gain program.

    That's one reason why Evan Centopani says that as a professional bodybuilder, he is also a "professional eater." He takes this stuff very seriously. If you want to get the most out of his groundbreaking program Iron Intelligence, learning what you can from his nutritional approach is a must. Before you lift a single weight, do yourself a favor and watch this nutritional day in the life of one of the world's top bodybuilders.
    No, you don't have to eat as much as a 275-pound bodybuilder does to be successful with this program-although we've provided that info if you want to try. But you'll probably have to eat more than you're accustomed to, both in terms of protein and vegetables. If you watched Evan's video "How an IFBB Pro Really Eats," you know the man can put away serious amounts of kale.
    This won't be easy. But will it be worth it? Well, I'll let you decide once you start struggling to find a pair of pants that fit over your quads.
    | How Much to Eat |
    - Calories are necessary to drive growth, but not at the expense of throwing nutrient quality and your health out the window. Evan insists that food quality is crucial. "If you're constantly eating like crap, you're going to train like crap," he says.
    - That's not a recipe for growth. Rather than focusing purely on protein, carbohydrates, and fat, he adds a fourth mandatory "macro"-vegetables-and he encourages you to do the same.
    - Here are the macros he recommends for anyone following Iron Intelligence:
    Protein: 1.5 grams per pound of body weight per day
    Carbohydrates: 1.5 grams per pound of body weight per day
    Healthy Fats: 0.65 grams per pound of body weight per day
    Vegetables: 2 grams per pound of body weight per day
    Remember that the numbers above serve as a starting point, not a set-in-stone prescription. Begin by figuring out how many calories you need per day by using Bodybuilding.com's calorie calculator. Make sure you select "weight gain" and choose either "moderately" or "very" active, depending on your job and lifestyle outside of the gym.
    | What to Eat |
    Protein Sources: Chicken and turkey breast, chicken liver, lean red meat (90/10 ground, flank steak, sirloin, filet), white fish (cod, fluke, flounder, sole), eggs, whey protein
    Carbohydrate Sources: Rice (white, brown, jasmine), sweet or white potatoes, oats, fruit, oat flour, brown rice syrup
    Fats: Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts), seeds (pumpkin, flax, sunflower), avocado, olive oil, canola oil
    Vegetables: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, kale, bell peppers, carrots, rutabaga, turnips, squash

    I noticed a lot of people making sport of him not showing his family, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Some people are very private and maybe that’s how he wants to keep his personal life. He did this video to share how he eats, not show his family. Stop being weird, enjoy the video and stop expecting everyone to show every single aspect of their life.

    • @Ssohpkcf
      @Ssohpkcf 2 роки тому +15

      @@tybehm6482 Wrong. MPS does not "trigger up to" 5-6 times a day. The human body cannot store protein like it can with fats and carbs. It can only digest protein for max 2 to 3 hours before it becomes waste. That's why bodybuilders constantly eat every 2 to 3 hours. They're not just randomly choosing to eat 5-6 times. It just so happens that if you eat every 2 to 3 hours for a full day, it comes out to be 5-6 meals.

    Great video Evan. Your nutritional advice is "right on target". I have a Master's degree in Human Nutrition. I went for that degree soley to find out why eating tuna had its effect on bodybuilders.
    You and I met in the 1990s in the gym in Fairfield. You might remember me as the "old school" old natural bodybuilder whose motto was "Your muscles won't 'balloona' unless you eats the Tuna" and to whom you gave a "Golds" tank top.
    BTW, we also have the same barber in Monroe. I have 2 videos here on UA-cam that show me during my competitive years in the 1980s.

    Thats a great video, because it tooks me a lifetime to understand the facts of nutrition and training. Now 59, i am in power-lifting and Metabolic Resistance Training and finally got the body i ever wanted - I eat 6-times / day, have a cardio workout every morning (cycling) and a heavy-weight workout the afternoon. It is never to late to adapt new behaviours to reach a healthy life-style ;-)

      I've been beating myself up lately for getting started at 35. I'm a woman. I've been an addict half my life (still am, but trying to get clean). I've been putting myself down a lot though for wanting to get into strength training at 35. At what age did you initially start your journey toward fitness/health?

    What I like about this is that he clearly takes what he is doing very seriously, but absolutely not in an over the top, pound-your-chest, arrogant way. Just a calm, down to Earth discipline and dedication to his chosen craft.

      yeah thats true but the amount of food is far above the limit.. I hope you realise that guys like him eat for at least 3 persons a day. While people die of hunger.. And what for? only to gain more musle? Is it ever enough?
