Intermittent Fasting For Bodybuilders (Updated For 2026)

Bodybuilding is a wonderful sport. Gaining slabs of powerful muscle, then shredding down to reveal all your hard work- and it’s that last part that an intermittent fasting bodybuilding lifestyle will help tremendously with.

Intermittent fasting is the most powerful fat loss weapon I’ve used for the past four years, and it’s the main factor that’s allowed me to stay ~10% body fat year-round (while slowly building muscle).

Therefore, intermittent fasting and bodybuilding go hand-in-hand, especially when you’re looking to lean down. So lets take a look at the ins and outs of intermittent fasting for bodybuilders.

It depends how you do it, but I would advise you to use intermittent fasting primarily for fat loss purposes. If you’re a beginner bodybuilder who purely wants to focus on mass gain, then you may need more meals and more spaced out protein.

But if you’re doing intermittent fasting for bodybuilding and your primary goal is fat loss, then this could be a life-changing style of eating for you.

Eating 6 times a day is a full-time job. I prefer 3 large meals.

Do you recommend weighing everything raw or cooked? I get confused.
