Conor McGregor and MMA's Diet
Fighters must keep up and respect their diets to the
letter. This is critical for muscle development and constant recovery after
every fight. If we talk about fighters, we can say that Conor McGregor is one
of the best examples in terms of fights and also in his diet. "The
Notorious" proved that diet is important in his life as it cost him a loss
to Nate Diaz. Conor felt confident when he gained weight but did not count that
it would cost him the loss of the title. However, he continues training to face
again against his opponent. He is carrying a diet rich in proteins, minerals,
vitamins, and low fats. The fighter returned to his previous diet of a
breakfast and a snack in the middle of the morning. After lunch, simply a bar
of protein and doing the usual as he was doing. His diet is based on 1603
calories. A little low maybe for someone who performs so many intense workouts.
However it has worked well. Apparently, his performance has returned to normal
and he is training hard for the rematch.
Food and supplements are the guarantee that Conor
obtains the best results. Like other fighters, diets must contain a high
protein level. Meats are important to them. Carbohydrates are important to them
as it gives them the energy they need to train. If there are no foods in the
diet that produce energy for training, they would not be able to do so.McGregor in his
diet has carbohydrates in the afternoon snack to have energy
for the rest of the day and thus have effective training. Baked potatoes are
Conor's favorites.
Milk is also of great importance, and the fighter is
fascinated with whey protein, egg whites, and fish. These are your dairy and
protein fundamentals that help you with the health of your bones, muscles,
tendons, and ligaments. Essential fatty acids are also important. Trans fats
and saturated fats should be avoided and foods rich in Omega 3. For Conor,
fatty acids are preferably found in salmon. Fatty acids help with inflammation
and cardiovascular function.
For many fighters, hydration seems not to be important
in their diets, however many have suffered the consequences of being dehydrated
for a long time and this obviously affects their performance in a negative way.
McGregor has no problem with hydration. He says he likes to stay hydrated,
especially with coconut water. Also you will never see him consuming energy
drinks or soda or products that are not in his diet. Fluids are important to
Conor, helping to release toxins and keep him hydrated. Natural juices, orange
juice especially, are never lacking in the champion's breakfast.
If you are thinking about becoming a successful MMA
fighter and learning all the basics and techniques of martial arts, you can
consider Conor McGregor's
diet as an example. If you want to get
out of the heap, consult with the professionals and make sure you have a good
diet and an excellent exercise routine.
