MMA Fighter Diet Plan

I really don’t like doing diet plans, especially on blog posts.

Everyone has a different opinion about what a diet should look like:
Intermittent fasting (all different protocols)
Dairy free
Wheat free
Ketogenic diet
High carb
Low carb
etc etc

Here’s what I typically eat to support training and working in an office:

6am
10g Glutamine in water and a probiotic tablet

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water

6.30am
Smoothie
Small slice of garlic
Half an avocado
30g Dried coconut Milk Powder
10ml Olive oil
10ml fish oil
2 bananas
30/40g of Hemp protein or hemp seeds.

Throughout the morning – Ginger tea
5 slices of ginger, in hot water, in a flask.

9am
Either oat cakes with peanut butter or a handful of almonds and cashews.

12pm
Large salad and ham/tuna bap (I usually put a bag of plain crisps on the bap ‘for extra calories’

4pm
Hemp protein drink with flaxseed powder

5.30pm
Smoothie
Half an avocado
30g Dried coconut Milk
10ml Olive oil
10ml fish oil
2 bananas
30/40g of Hemp protein or hemp seeds.

6.30pm
Dinner
varies but as an example:
Homemade chicken curry with brown rice

8.30pm
Smoothie without the fish oil
3 ZMA tablets

I also supplement with Acetyl L-Carnitine, Gingko biloba and Meriva Curcumin (great anti-inflammatory)

 

On Training Days
I’ll eat the same up until 4pm
Post training I’ll normally have a protein drink with hemp protein, creatine, leucine, maltodextrin and a banana eaten separately.
