DIET FOR
FIGHTERS

• For example, boxers and MMA fighters

prepare for fights where they are divided
into weight classes, so they diet before the
competition, so fighters are not always in
competitive shape. This is a picture of the
same fighter Paddy Pimblett puts on over
20kg after fights, he says he likes to put on
weight and eat well but as soon as a fight
comes he starts getting into fighting shape

one season of basketball lasts for

months, so athletes have to be in good
shape throughout the year. Even one
kilogram affects how they play, that's
why LeBron James spends 1.5 million a
year on his body and changes his body
according to his needs, so he can be as
athletic at 37 years old as he was in his
20s.

MY EXPERIENCE
AND ADVICE

 Alcohol often has a negative effect on

athletes performance
 In my case, it just adds speed to my athleticism and
even more selfishness to my performance
 And salt relieves muscle and headache pain, and
helps me make quick decisions while playing
 Complex carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and
other grains have a positive effect on my enduran ce
 Water and protein foods help me recover after
training and demonstrate my strength during
the game​
 After consuming caffeine and fast
carbohydrates, I find it difficult to make quick
decisions and my stamina decreases.
So I cook 90% of my food.
Because I totally want to control
my nutrients And I found an
easy meal called egg fried rice It
takes 5-10 minutes to prepare. It
is very flexible. The ingredients
are just rice, eggs and a pan.
The rest is up to you. You can
add vegetables, meat and most
of the ingredients you like.
