Ronnie Coleman Diet
Ronnie Coleman is an eight time Mr. Olympia titleholder, and the holder of the record for IFFB wins with a record 26 wins since starting his professional career in 1990. All that and at the age of 46 he is making a comeback after some injuries and setbacks.
This round of training is even more critical than any before since his last Mr. Olympia win was in 2005. That means his workouts must be more intense and structured and his diet that also must be perfect to refine that already nearly perfect body into that of a winner once again.
Just like every competitor and particularly professional bodybuilders, the Ronnie Coleman diet (training and off-season) has changed gradually over the years to accommodate not only his changing metabolism but also the judge’s changing standards. For example in 2007, the judges of Mr. Olympia decided that bodybuilders might be getting too large. That year Ronnie Coleman, who does gain a good amount of weight off season (up to around 300 lbs) modified his off season diet so that he had less fat and more lean muscle mass resulting in a trimmer waist and less dieting to lose fat to achieve that look the judges wanted.
In 2005 Ronnie Colman’s diet included grits with cheese, French fries, baked potatoes, filet mignon, chicken breasts and pink lemonade. All of this was mixed up with lots of protein shakes and nutritional supplements. Considering the Spartan quality of most professional bodybuilder’s diets Ronnie Coleman has done very well with a lot of surprising variety included. Oh, and he even had 2 cups of coffee with breakfast.
In 2007, breakfast still included the grits with cheese and doubtless, this year’s training will include that staple. If it works for Ronnie Coleman, it cannot be bad. What is hardest about training diets for anyone is the monotony and Ronnie Coleman takes care include some foods he likes to break that up. Since sports, fitness trainers state that the worst part of the dieting is the utter boredom of eating the exact same thing in the exact same amounts at the same time during training.
Ronnie Coleman admits that a lot of his time when in training is spent eating or getting ready to eat. He has a DVD about his diet and training secrets out so he is not telling too much about his current diet except that lean high protein meat, fish and chicken with carbs are the key and you can bet good ole grits can be found in there somewhere. It must be effective since he is well into his forties, and still competing at the top of his game.
