Hi girl & welcome to the boards! Vegetarian BB's exist so it is doable, but yes, does present challenges. Your stats put you in a good starting place as far as progress towards competition. When you say "fitness", just to clarify, you are referring to competition in an organization like the NPC where you are doing the 2 min gymnastics / fitness routine along with the 1 piece & 2 piece suit posing, correct? Just need to verify because there are several types of comp - bb, figure, fitness, fitness model - and each has its different requirements.

I first wanted to ask what sort of progress you have made on this diet so far? Do you find yourself being carb sensitive? Fat sensitive? Do you build muscle or fat easily? I'm primarily askign because your total cal count comes out at 2947 for the day. For me, I'm 5'7" and started at 160 lb, 15% bf and competed this past weekend at 139 lb & around 9% bf. But I've found if my total cals excede around 1800 cals I'm screwed. Any bodyfat loss stops cold and I start getting soft.

First Off.. Welcome aboard, you came to the right place!!

Sassy, you read my mind!! My current intake doesnt exceed 1300-1350 calories.

Keep us posted on your routine

Well, I am trying to bulk up right now. I am trying to gain alot of muscle right now. I am nowhere near competition yet. I am trying to gain size. As far as the "fitness" competition clarification, I am not really sure. I haven't really looked into any yet because I am not far enough into it. I know I want to do bb but not sure about the others.

 

[Sassy69]

So I guess my question - is this diet allowing you to bulk up, i.e. add muscle and not fat?

And also your body & "bulk" will determine if you can do "figure" or BB. "Fitness" is going to have that gymnastics element to it. If you are bulking then you are most likely doing bb. BB is just too large to do figure as well.

I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions???? My trainer put this meal plan together for me so it was not just out of thin air. Put on mass and muscle then slim down (take off all the mass to get definition) Suggestions???
