The diet of a figure competitor is crucial to the outcome of her physique on the day of her competition. We are dedicated to a healthy lifestyle all year and spend the several weeks leading up to the competition dialing in our nutrition in order to maximize our results. Competition prep requires our food choices to be limited and we are typically very short on time which makes it that much more important to have a convenient, competition friendly protein and veggie option on hand for a quick and healthy meal.
