This article contains a lot of useful information for creating your individual, optimally selected, unique diet. A large number of various lookup tables will help you with all the necessary information in this difficult endeavor...
Magnitude energy costs when practicing bodybuilding, it depends on the individual characteristics, temperament, state of the environment, and the athlete’s living conditions. To properly plan the training process, you need to know the amount of energy consumption.
The table shows energy consumption per 1 hour for various types of activities.

With proper nutrition for bodybuilders average daily caloric intake depending on weight should be:

The total energy consumption for a workout depends on the size of the training load, weight category, athlete’s qualifications, type of exercises performed, etc. For comparative analysis, the concept of “specific energy intensity” was introduced - the amount of energy to perform work (kg/m).
A.N. Vorobyov found that if squats with a barbell on the shoulders are taken as 100%, then the energy intensity of other exercises will be as follows: deadlift - 106%, squats with a barbell on the chest - 137%, standing press - 225%, bench press - 250%.
Energy consumption varies noticeably depending on the magnitude of the load within 50-80% of the best result and remains almost unchanged within 90-100%.
The number of repetitions in the approach also affects the amount of energy consumption. When lifting 80% of the maximum weight for one, two, three, four and five repetitions, specific energy costs decrease.
The amount of energy expenditure is related to the time spent performing the exercise. Using the example of squats with a bar in the position on the shoulders, it was established that energy consumption often reaches its maximum value if the exercise is performed in 3 seconds.
The bodybuilder's weight also affects the amount of energy expended. When performing the same exercise, athletes spend, depending on the weight category:
Category: |
Kcal |
up to 65 kg |
3,98 |
80 kg |
4,60 |
90 kg |
5,10 |
over 100 kg |
7,00 |
According to statistics, a bodybuilder weighing 75 kg spends approximately 5 Kcal per minute of painstaking training.
