In terms of bodybuilding I think that nutritionists are very overtouted unless you are cutting and trying to maintain. Certain people perform better on certain foods and there's a million different variations that your diet can be.Originally Posted by CIGS -JUNGLE
I would like to know why nutritionists use specific food amounts according to consumption and amount of each food that people are used to eat in a given nation. Here in the USA nutritionists follow a table that tells the amounts that the population consumes day by day to assemble diets. Would this be to fulfill the WHO mandate of consuming at least 2,500 kcal to maintain body weight?
The nutritionists using specific amounts of each food is very different from the way the bodybuilding world diets. They follow a population per capita table .
What is the real meaning of them preparing the patients' diet in this model? Is it to reach the specific calorie ceiling?
Certain people digest certain foods and absorb nutrients from certain foods very well and others not so well.
The diet is tailored to meet your specific needs whether it is maintaining muscle and cutting fat or just bulking.
Only by trial and error will a person figure out what diet works optimal for them.
I think if I was one of these rich bb's I would have my feces checked after each meal to see what nutrients were actually used and what remains as waste.
