How to Pack Bodybuilding Meals for School

If you are bodybuilding you know you need a solid diet. Here are some ideas for meals you can take on the go.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Wraps. Don't underestimate the power of the wrap in bodybuilding. Get yourself some corn pita bread (NOT flower) and a selection of sandwich meats. Throw a couple meats on there, then add in your cheese, lettuce, tomato, carrot shreds or whatever else you want in that meal. Roll that sucker up in some aluminum foil and throw it in your lunch box. NOTE: All bodybuilders carry lunch boxes, even when they're a 40 year old attorney, they'll tote a lunch box into the office. This IS cool, stop worrying about it.

2. Pre-made protein shakes. Bodybuilders live on protein shakes. Don't pre-make the whole thing or it'll settle or go bad depending on if you use water or low fat milk. Get a bunch of empty bottles (steal your mom's used ones) and measure out a serving of your favorite whey into each bottle. If you work out at school, put a scoop of creatine in with one of the protein bottles and mark it to drink after your workout. When it's time to drink one of your shakes between classes just find a water fountain and fill it up, shake it up and slam it down.

3. Sandwiches. It seems that so many kids over look sandwiches. Using wheat bread and little to no mayo, this can be a solid choice for one of your bodybuilding meals at school. Add meats, cheese and anything else you would like a wrap, and put it in a zip lock bag.

4. Protein bars. Sometimes these get expensive and aren't an option for everyone. If you are lucky enough to get your parents to pick up the bill on your bodybuilding hobby and all the food that comes with it, just make sure your bars aren't really high in sugars. I don't care if it has 50 grams of protein, if it has 50 grams of sugar, it's not a good bar.

on 1/9/2010 This is a pretty good and simple guide to packing the food you need for the day. I just started bodybuilding two months ago, so I will take any tips i can find. Now if i can just get coworkers to stop giving me odd looks when i walk in with my giant lunch box, I guess they just don't know how cool it is.
