Indian Diet Plan For Bodybuilding (veg and Non-veg)

Last Updated on February 19, 2020 | RD, Payal Banka (Registered Dietitian) 799 Comments

When we talk about an Indian diet plan for bodybuilding, We mean a diet plan that has all its roots attached to our dear nation. Since time immemorial, India has shown a keen interest in bodybuilding. Even today, bodybuilding and โ€œkushtiโ€( Indian wrestling) seem to be one of the most favorable pastimes in rural India. Here is our small contribution to this field through this Indian diet plan for bodybuilding.

Indian diet plan for Bodybuilding

 

Kushti, Pahelwan, and the Indian Diet:

โ€œAkharen ke pahelwanโ€ or the bodybuilders belonging to a certain school of bodybuilding and wrestling are normally depicted in movies as musclemen with hefty, voluminous physique and a terrific temperament. For instance, Movie “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”. This typical scene, though used to inject elements of comedy into a drama, may actually be thought-provoking. How can Indians with very low intake of animal proteins succeed in building world-class bodies? How can an Indian diet plan for bodybuilding be best utilized to address the dietary needs of our Indian bodybuilders? Can Indian foods provide a high level of nutrition that a bodybuilder needs to fuel his workout and daily activities? These questions have gained greater importance these days as Indian bodybuilders are taking a greater interest in Indian diet plan for bodybuilding and staying committed to their choice of food that they have been traditionally consuming since childhood.

Respectable Mr. Sushil Kumar, the well known Indian freestyle wrestler who is a silver medalist in Olympics and a gold medalist at the commonwealth games is a pure Vegetarian.ย  Sushil Kumar is a great example for those aspiring Indian bodybuilders who want to remain within their cultural food system.

If you have achieved your weight-loss goal and have been pumping iron since quite some time, you may be heading towards your muscle-building goal as well. But wait- we said, โ€œmaybeโ€. Your attempt to create a Big Show may actually become a Big Flop Show if you are not sticking to an appropriate diet plan. Fortunately, Indian foods have adequate nutrients and minerals which provide you with the amount of energy that your muscles need to combat challenging workouts. Here are a few essential tips for every Indian interested in bodybuilding.

Essential tips for every Indian bodybuilder:

1. Balanced diet:

We often get carried away with western diet thoughts about low carb diets helping in building muscles or consuming a high protein diet for muscle building.ย  If you are really into bodybuilding and have been lifting some good weights, your body uses energy from the carb, protein as well as from fat stores of your body while performing. Hence the key lies in eating a balanced meal.

Carbs:

Carbohydrates form the basis of an Indian food chart. At least 50 – 55 % of your total calorie intake should come from complex carb foods. Avoiding too much simple carb like sugar and refined foods like Maida is essential. Intake the carb calories through whole grains, broken wheat, red/ brown rice, oats, jau (barely).

 

Protein:

If you are new to bodybuilding, you need a greater protein intake.ย  At least 25 – 30 % of your calories should come from protein in food. The actual number would depend upon your activity level as well as your body weight.

If you are a non – vegetarian Indian, you need to include eggs, Paneer (cottage cheese), milk and milk products, fish and skinless chicken and mutton.

If you are a vegetarian Indian – You need to Include a lot of legumes along with milk and paneer. You may like to check the Legume and protein specifications mentioned in our article – Top 15 Indian vegetarian foods for bodybuilding.

Sprouts, rich in protein content, may keep you satiated in your snacking time. Thereโ€™s a whole lot of argument with respect to the choice of milk with some studies showing the greatness of whole milk over low-fat skimmed milk. While this may be true when we consider the number of amino acids present in whole milk, but it is still better to opt for skimmed milk to keep your fat intake limited.

 

Fats:

You may hate it but you cannot ignore it. Whether thin or fat, we all are fat-phobic. ย But we cannot ignore the fact that 15- 20 % of our calories should come from fats. It is in our hand to turn this into good. Consume olive oil, or sunflower + rice bran oil or other such MUFA and PUFA combination of oil. Include healthy nuts, Fish oil, and Avocados.

 

Vitamins:

Our desire to gain muscle mass is so much overtaken by Protein, that we mostly forget about the other micronutrients from food that are equally essential. Vitamin E, Vitamin B, and Vitamin C are some very crucial vitamins that we can not overlook while gaining muscle mass.

  • Vitamin E, B, and Cย  are all antioxidants and very essential to take care of the waste that is generated in the body due to strength training.
  • ย Almonds, peanut, hazelnuts, Wheat germ (jau), flax seeds, sunflower oil , corn oil , canola oil are all sources ofย Vitamin E
  • ย Amla, Lemon, Papaya, oranges, bell pepper, pineapple, cantaloupe, kiwi, tomatoes, asparagus, grapefruit, raspberries, fennel seeds (saunf) provide Vitamin C
  • Vitamin B – Legumes, pulses, beans, banana, chili, Milk, etc. You can also pop some B vitamin pills every day before the workout. B vitamins are water-soluble vitamin and the excess is washed off in the urine , hence toxicity is the least expected. While supplementation will enhance your health and fitness.

Fruits and vegetables

These have ample amounts of vitamins and minerals packed in them, but you may need to re-consider some options or fit them in a plan so as to ensure their optimal intake while controlling excess consumption. This again enforces the focus of this article- eating the right food, in the right quantity, and at the right time.

Grapefruit, alfalfa, and catfish provide HMBย  which helps during the workout by sparing proteins and using carbohydrates and fat as energy.

Melons, pineapple, and cantaloupe increase urination and flush off the excess metabolic waste produced in the body while building up muscles.

Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, leafy greens, and yellow and red bell peppers are especially important if you are someone with a sense of taste as well as health. Besides adding incredible taste to your delicacies, these vegetables provide a sample amount of vital nutrients to your body while allowing your muscles to heal faster after the workout.

2. Get Enough Sleep:

In our desire to gain Muscle, we often forget that the tired cells of the body need enough rest for repair purposes. We tend to get over-involved in the exercise routine and day to day work, that we ignore the 8-hour sleep required by every cell of the body desperately. As a result, you will notice a downfall in your stamina and some weak-hearted may even give up. Do not let this happen to you. Basic as it may sound but reward your hard work at the gym and outside by going for that much needed 7 – 8 hours of sleep. Power naps in the afternoon are encouraged too.

3. Drink a lot of water:

water is essential for life. Water is the most essential part of an Indian diet plan for bodybuilding too. It is essential for Indian muscle builders and anyone who is involved in extreme and meticulous training or workout. ย Water is absorbed quickly by the body cells and helps in the cooling down of the body cells after a vigorous workout. Plain water is considered of higher importance and of much value in comparison to most of the sports drinks that are sugar-laden.ย  Good hydration also affects stamina and increases your muscle’s capacity to work out.

Increased urination is of utmost importance to ensure the elimination of the excess metabolic waste produced in the body during bodybuilding.

EndNote

We do not ask you to eat bland food as we do not like it either. An aloo paratha in the morning or a chicken sandwich as an evening snack are incredible options provided you know how to consume them and where to stop. You cannot afford to have butter-laden parathas and you need to necessarily use brown bread in your chicken sandwich. And your juices need to be healthy drinks with little or no refined sugar content. Thatโ€™s the way it works and you have to balance both the sides to make your plan more sustainable and to stay committed to it.

Do follow this Indian Diet Plan for bodybuilding and let us know how it helps you. Of course, we are open to your questions and doubts regarding this Indian diet chart for muscle building.

      you can maintain a time gap of 2-3 hours in between all meals . pre workout meals should be taken 1 hour to 30 mins prior to workout and post worout protein shakes / fat burners should be consumed immediately after workout .

    Dear Payal,

    My name is Shwetank, 27 years of Age. Weight: 73 KG, Height: 175cm.
    I am doing my workout since 4 years but from last one year I have decided to build up a lean muscular body. However, I am not that fatty.
    Since last 2 months, I am on strict diet with less oil/ fatty food consumption.

    I just want to share my diet plan with you, kindly make the correction if you want me too add something.

    Morning:
    Just after wake up-Lemon+Honey+ Look warm water mixture.
    Whey Protein
    1 Egg white
    3-4 Tomatoes

    11 AM
    Panner(50-100 Gm)

    12 PM
    MILK

    Lunch:
    Juice
    Daliya
    4 EGGS

    Evening:
    Brown bread

    Before Workout: 1 Banana

    After workout
    Whey protien

    Before Bed: Soyabean
    Poha(Light)/Brown rice/Daliya

    This is my diet plan so far.
    I do not feel dehydrated even performing heavy workout.

    But the only thing that makes me worry that, My body is taking shape but size is not increasing, it does not cross 15.5 inches biceps size.

    Is am lacking somewhere in diet?
    Do i need to add few more things in my diet plan?

    Also, Recently I have gone through the medical checkup and found BP on lower side 117/65.

    Is this becoz i am not taking full meal diet and just on protein diet.
    KINDLY HELP.

      hi shwetank ,

      you need to add more fluids to you diet . specially a glass of fruit juice in between your workout is very important . make sure you consume salt in good quantity, sprinkle liberally on your fruits and salads.

      tke buttermilk , coconut water and lemon juices. include some tomatoes n curd in your dinner as well

      Hi Preetam , all looks good , you can add some protein snack in the evening with your juice , something like chick pea salad , or boiled red channa will help . start having a pre gym meal . have an egg omlette with bron bread sandwich .

    I really appreciates Payal Mam. I am 34 years old and I want to make my body fit and if possible I like to become body builder, but due to hectic work It might be cumbersome for me. Is this above diet suitable for me ? Also as per diet, there are four to five times we have to eat the nutritional food, but it may not be possible since I am not professional Body Builder. So will you please consolidate above plan which will be feasible to intake in busy schedules also.
