Subject: The new August magazine

Muscle and Fitness Hers is out. I bought it last night. There is an article in there which interviews some female competitive body builders. Apparently these girls have two different weights. Their off season weight and their competition weight.

What struck me about the article was that most of these girls don't eat small amounts of food. They all ate at least 1700 to 2300 calories a day. And they all ate "clean" which I assume means healthy meats and vegetables, not a lot of junk. The other more interesting thing that I noticed is that they all recommended eating 6 small meals a day or eating every 2 to 2.5 hours.

Now these are girls who have a lot of muscle to maintain, so they all ate at least 100 grams of protein per day.

It made me stop and think. I know that I don't ever want to be that muscular, but on the other hand, it would be nice to weigh what they do and keep the weight off. I particularly think that more meals per day is something I'm going to try and adopt into my life style. I really believe that is one thing I do wrong, waiting too long between meals.
