I never see pro's eating healthy fats.. always rice/oats and chicken/steak... why?

[TheSecondName]

Since fats are so important for our health, heart, fat burning etc, explain why I have almost never seen a pro eating a hand of nuts, a couple of tbs olive oil or avocados?? Every ''nutrition vid'' I've seen from a pro, they are always eating rice, oats, eggwhites, or something....

No ofense, but can someone find an anwser? Their diets are always "LOW FAT'' they said...

Their videos are usually precontest diets that generally drop very low in both fat and overall calorie intake. Many people here(myself included) do eat a low(er) fat diet, but it's more based on personal preference. Just as many have high(er) fats and low(er) carbs.

u stalking them bro

Steroids are a part of it. You can get away with so much.

[TheSecondName]

Yeah, drugs are involved... BUT I think that's not the only thing...

Most pro's live like the bodybuilders in the 70-80's... '' eating fats make you fat' which mean the same like ''eating hair make you able to get more hair''

However, pro's still look good nowdays, less fat or not... they look great.

But i'm interessed in more details than only ''added roids''

Because you don't need fats to regulate your hormones when you've got dat dare.

Have you actually followed any of these people around for an entire day IRL? Pro athletes of any sport often have other agendas to promote that are sometimes not obvious at first glance.

Because they are bros with fat-phobia. That's why.

And pro bodybuilders are not exactly definitions of healthy human specimens. More like walking chemistry experiments.

They are on exogenous drugs.

Don't forget that pro bodybuilders generally eat enormous amounts of food overall to gain mass or just maintain what they have, and you don't really need to "try" very hard to get enough fat to stay healthy when you're eating over 4k calories per day.

That's the damn truth. Pro Bodybuilders are not the image of "healthy" IMO but more of a science experiment.

wrong. natural or not, you still need plenty of fats in your diet. as many pros have.

[cmurray]

They get enough fat in their diets. Don't be fooled bro.

[MAX.MAREK]

exactly. just makes me laugh that so many think just because their on 'stuff' doesnt mean they eat fats. "FINALLY now we can just eat carbs and proteins."

they get plenty of fats from:
steak
avocados
fish
olive oil
almonds

^^^^This. Dietary fat fills many other requirements besides just being a source of raw materials for hormones.

FYI: Pro bodybuilding itself is not a healthy pursuit.

that's a given. Natty bodybuilding itself isn't healthy either, but many still do it. What is your point exactly?

They do however hit their fat requirements. i lol hard at people who say they don't.

and if it weren't for it, none of us would be on this board now would we? so THANK pro bodybuilding to give you an online place to speak your fitness thoughts sir.

but tell me, what is so UNhealthy about pro bodybuilding? the only thing unhealthy about bodybuilding, for many not all, is the final week of contest time...when depleting is part of the process. other then that, nothing is really unhealthy. their 'vitamins' dont kill. there have been probably less then 10 confirmed deaths with their 'vitamin' usage, and thats with bigtime abuse and overdosage. Smoking, illegal drugs (*******, heroin, etc.) and alcohol consumption have way more health risks involved, and have a crapload more confirmed deaths.

Dude, don't kid yourself. Enhanced bodybuilding is NOT healthy....there is nothing healthy about it. Not saying it's wrong but to say it's perfectly healthy is ridiculous at best.

well, to a point ok sure. there is that 'risk' and danger of something....but that goes with many other things aswell, even in the the unenhanced realm.

I see what you're saying and I appreciate the effort to argue that enhanced bodybuilding is Not as unhealhty as people think. BUT, it is night and day in terms of health for natty verse not. Blood pressure, cholesterol, endocrine damage are not things that can properly be managed. They can be worked with to limit the Danger through cardio and diet etc...but the risks are far and above natural bodybuilding and non enhanced sports in general.

On one hand enhanced bbng Does not need to be nearly as dangerous as most think, but on the other hand there is a giant step in risk when one goes that route. Risk that I'd acceptable? That's all personal choice.
