No they don't. A bodybuilding diet is mostly protein, then certain fats, then starchy carbs at the right time (breakfast and post-workout).

- have_faith 8y ago> A bodybuilding diet is mostly protein Bodybuilders typically consume about ~30% protein. Where did you get the idea that it is mostly protein? Not to say that there aren't outliers obviously.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoUmm, no. If you're eating 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (which is on the high end) and you weigh 200 pounds, that's about 1200 calories from protein, out of diet that's likely 3000 - 3500 calories. A common recommendation I see is for about 20-25% to come from fat, and the remaining from carbs, preferably complex carbs.
