Muay Thai Tournament Tips: Nutrition and Diet Strategies
How To Prepare For The IFMA World Championships and Other Muay Thai Tournaments
By James Bee
With the IFMA world championship games only weeks away, I hope everyone attending has been eating and training well. No doubt most of you have to meet at a weight class.
In this post I’m going to list the foods you should be eating and how to calculate your calories to get your weight spot on by the time you’re in Langkawi. With this goal in mind, you know you’re going to have to cut and monitor daily calorie intake. The strategy – consume all the nutrition you can get in as few calories as possible.
If you don’t need to lose any weight and just want to maintain your current weight, your formula for daily calorie intake is this:
To maintain current weight: Body weight in lbs x 13 Cal
IF YOU’RE IN BETWEEN THESE WEIGHTS, DO YOUR OWN CALCULATIONS, THEY’RE PRETTY SIMPLE. IT’S JUST BODY WEIGHT X 10.
Don’t worry about getting it...
