What does your normal diet look like? Breakfast: 1x protein shake. 2x corn thins with pb Midmorning: Either a protein bar or if I'm busy will usually skip this meal Lunch: Chicken Either a mountain wrap or cornthins Cucumber, tomato and spinach Or Eggs on toast Or Hard boiled egg and toast soldiers lol. (I have to be careful as egg doesn't sit well for me so I don't have it often) Mid afternoon: Usually a couple of corn thins or a protein shake Dinner: I usually stick to eating chicken breast all the time but I might make it into a burger or a wrap based pizza with Chicken bacon and salad Dessert: Whatever I feel like :). I prefer sweet over savoury if I have a treat so this is where I let go in the off season I love cookies especially afghans dark chocolate Tim tams and ice cream |
Emma and Cory
When did you start bodybuilding training/eating regime? I went to Leanne Simays for a diet plan just to help my Crohns. Then I decided to start training at her gym (Transform health & fitness) where I caught the body building bug. After watching my partner Cory compete for the first time in September 2014 I decided to give it a go and started prepping for my first comp in April 2015.
Has having crohn's helped or hinder your bodybuilding goals considering bodybuilding, especially during precontest, can be very strict? What is downside of having chrohns in terms of your bodybuilding/muscle building goals? Advice to others who think they may have digestive issues and signs to look for? Common signs are severe stomach pains, weight loss, low iron levels, loss of hair, always cold, loss of strength and no appetite. |
