    Do you train like a female body builder?

    Are you lifting fasted?

    Totally boring, and unnecessarily so unless you are uber lean and have a comp or shoot coming up.

    Bunch of unnecessary supplements.

    Very similar to my thoughts. Unless your training for a comp and/or planning a serious cut this seems OTT. If your not training right you arn't going 'to bulk up' no matter what your diet is like. Female's don't get serious muscle by accident.

    she's suggested 5 days of 45 min cardio..and strength training 3 days a week....this is a plan for comp....but i was just thinking of doing it for maybe 2 weeks for quick results..then slowly going back to a more normal HEALTHY lifestyle

    hmmm i'm highly dubious of anything that offers 'a quick fix'. It tends to lead to quick weight loss then it being regained after the 'quick fix' stage has passed.

    I think female body builders are very unattractive and unfeminine. If they're taking steroids, even more so. The female body was made to have nice curves and a little meat on it -- not look like you could crush walnuts with your thighs.

    If you want a nice body, go for the yoga/pilates/aerobics type body. The "fitness" body where there is muscle tones and lean lines -- not ripples of muscles. I'm a straight female and even I think that's a hot body on a female! (and what I'm aspiring to become)

    Unbelievable.

    That diet looks pretty lean to me. I think you could follow that to a T for six months and not really get 'bulky'.

    This looks unnecessarily boring.
    I would doubt the necessity for BCAAs but if you've got the disposable income, go for it.
    Glutamine is not likely doing you much of anything.

    Did this pro bodybuilder friend find out your TDEE and if so, what is it?
    What is the caloric and macronutrient intake of the meal plan?
    Did she ask you about foods you enjoy eating before making this plan or did she say "Here, eat these food

    Agreed!! Most people don't know about this. READ this!

    Start with the HEALTHY lifestyle.

    Any weight you lose doing this will be put right back on again once you start eating regularly

    Find out your TDEE and reduce it by 20% and focus on your macros. Most of those supplements are pretty unnecessary.

    i want noticably toned arms and legs..and a six pack...a muscular back/shoulders/calves even dont matter to me..guess i need to focus on target areas?

    You should do nothing but bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, leg ext and leg curls. 5 x a week.

    Should get you to where you want to go.

    I rarely poke my head into the forums but really, this is quite insulting to a lot of women who work hard, lift big and look fantastic, feminine and strong. They're also trying to break the stereotypes that you seem to be perpetuating. Unreal.

    This is what 95% of female physique competitors eat like. Reason being, getting a figure competitor down to sub 8% bodyfat causes alot of problems, and may or may not be healthy...so they only do it if they're headed for actual competition. I'd say most figure and physique girls hover around 12-18% when they aren't getting ready for a show.

    If you're a natural athlete, it's almost impossible to look "too muscular" as a female. 1. because you have about 1/10th of the testosterone a man has in his 50s. 2. I highly doubt most girls go into the gym and try to squat 400 pounds or bench press twice their bodyweight.

    Which is why natural female "bodybuilding" barely even exists (and they certainly are not judged on size, or musculature...rather much more on aesthetic flow and symmetry). Since it's hard for them to bring out muscularity while maintaining muscle like a male. What you end up getting is sort of a "figure model" look..which is more shredded than a bikini competitor (what I would think most girls' ideal is).

    Well, are you thinking of doing this plan because you want to become a professional body builder? I don't think this type of diet is necessary for someone who is doing it more for enjoyment or personal goals. This diet also seems like something that wouldn't be a year round diet, but during a phase of preparing for a competition. I could be wrong though....

    Did the recommended food intake on the list, factor in your TDEE? The reason I ask is this: Often times these pre-determined lists of foods aren't customized for the individual.

    Ultimately, what's going to effect your body composition in terms of diet, is your total calorie and nutrient intake. It's not a function of the names of the foods you eat.

    This x9999

    Don't rely on prepackaged meal plan crap.

    For me, that sounds a bit too boring for my tastes. It also sounds like really small meals! (love my food!)

    But hey, if that works for them then that's great, but I couldn't handle it. I don't wish to be a bodybuilder, although I do want to have a decent level of muscle mass! What I'm doing at the moment (eating about 4 times a day, regular sized meals, IIFYM) works for me.

    Also, don't you dare tell me what MY body was made to look like or do.

    What do you want a supplement to do?

    It seems as though you are not leading up to a comp, so in my opinion, there is no reason to eat as though you are.

    Eat at a reasonable caloric deficit, get your macros sorted out and do a good progressive loading strength routine.
