If u watch any ifbb pros diets most of them consists of lot of veggies, meats and basically just a lot of "clean" foods. Why would they eat like this lol. Don't they know that there's no such thing as clean or junk foods?

I don't personally believe everything I read on the internet or see in PR videos regarding bodybuilding, or much of anything else for that matter.
It's easy to see out good foundation information about nutrition.The most important aspect of weight training; whether for the athlete, bodybuilder, or average person is to better ones health and ability without injury. - Bill Pearl

Pro Bodybuilders who eat "junk" food:
CALUM VON MOGER
Phil Heath
Marcus Ruhl
Lee Priest
Jay Cutler
Chris Bumstead
Of course, all of this changes during contest prep; to get down to the usual competition-ready 5% body fat level requires super-human dedication and attention to the most minute of nutritional details.
ETA:
None of the foods in the above pics are what I would consider to be "junk" foods, but rather are examples of what joe public would consider to be as such. Quite the contrary; everything in those pics has at least some nutrition value, and as far as the burgers and fries are concerned, by any other name, or their component parts scattered out on a plate, would be considered to be good bodybuilding foods.Last edited by ironwill2008; 12-18-2017 at 10:50 AM.

They probably don't even look at it like you describe (i.e. clean/junk)
Some people have large appetites, including ifbb pros. Look at them, their solid houses of muscle. Eating pop tarts and refined foods everyday is not going to work for them.
Eating whole foods helps with satiety.
What's wrong with eating veggies, rice, and meats/chicken?
As someone else posted, you clearly see their cheat days (i.e. videos above). But lol if you think they eat like that every day or even 3-4 days a week.
The only thing in the video they're probably not showing you is the pint of B&J or the cookies here and there they'll have throughout the week.

I know a couple of ifbb pros personally (not saying olympia level) and most of them eat "clean" year round
Cheat once or twice a week in the off season and that's about it
They put alot of other unmentionable things in their system we're not allowed to discuss on here so to try and offset the health risks associated with that aspect of pro bodybuilding a healthier nutrient filled diet is a mustStats: 6 foot, 240 pounds

This.
Apart from usually being on a calorie deficit ( and working out hard) and preferring much more satiating and filling food, they choose more bland food to protect their image of sacrifice and dedication
Try to show some idiot people a pro bodybuilder eating a cheeseburger with fries everyday, and explain them they don't gain a ****ton of fat immediately after lol
I still notice billions of people who believe is what you eat, rather than how much, that makes gain you fat, it's a die hard myth

Exactly this
It's like the mechanism of iifym people on Instagram, but inverted
They post only appealing good, avoiding some bro food they eat on a regular basis, the pros only bland food and avoid posting the occasional candy bar, ice cream etc

I know many now at NPC level and absolutely all of them eat a typical bro diet. I can't even mention "clean" , "dirty" etc for discussion. They do however, on occasion, eat non bro items.
Some IFBB Pros I knew in Venice were the same way.NASM CPT

Many who you think eat a "bro" diet all the time do not always eat like that, but that's what they put out there so that you think they do.
Many believe that they'll get better results eating a "bro" diet rather than one that's slightly more flexible with similar overall nutrient composition.
Many don't count macros/calories and by eating the same simple "bro" foods every day they can just change portion sizes to gain/lose weight at the rate they want (i.e. it's easier to manage when not counting macros).
Many eat a "bro" diet so as not to compound the unhealthy compounds they're putting into their system with an unhealthy diet.
Many think they eat "clean" yet consume a pound of processed supplements on the daily. That's always funny to see.

It works. Kind of like an old wives tail that has been passed down from bro to bro. It's not a coincidences that bro diets are whole food diets. Even if fairly restrictive and not eating much more than chicken potatoes and brocc0li. When you are eating 4,000 kcals there isn't a lot of micro nutrient deficiencies. You don't have to worry about weird food additives and things that might cause digestive problems or other issues. It's convenient. When you are eating every few hours it isn't reasonable to be eating gourmet food all the time.
we have not spent the last 65 million or so years finely honing our physiology to watch Oprah. Like it or not, we are the product of a very long process of adaptation to a harsh physical existence, and the past couple centuries of comparative ease and plenty are not enough time to change our genome. We humans are at our best when our existence mirrors, or at least simulates, the one we are still genetically adapted to live. And that is the purpose of exercise. - Mark Rippetoe

Have you ever looked at some of the labels on the supplements that these guys guzzle on a daily basis? Talk about additives...that stuff is the definition of processed junk with a bunch more junk added.
Jay's a good bodybuilder and businessman, but it sounds like he's not much of a nutrition expert. Simple carbs are sugar. The rice and potatoes he was eating around the clock are actually all complex, slower digesting carbohydrates, otherwise known as starch.

I can just tell you what I witness in my own house. My husband is cut and stays that way year-round. He eats donuts and bagels and junk, but it makes up maybe 20% of his diet, probably less. He trains like a motherf*&cker.
Dinner in my house last week- turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce (made with 2 cups of sugar), he would have biscotti I made him...he does weigh out what he eats and I bet he's eating under what he needs, he is 5'10.5" and 165-170 lbs and eat like 2000 calories.
I can only eat the protein and vegetables, not the other junk, but I eat 1500 calories a day and am female and weigh a heck of a lot less than him.
