FLEX Magazine - New Mass Diet

Designed for a 200 pound bodybuilder.

I can't imagine anyone actually following this. FLEX mag must believe all bodybuilders are rich, have the entire day to cook food, and are willing to get fat and bloated. A lot of guys would get very sloppy on this type of meal plan.

Make that very sloppy & fat! Also I wouldnt be planning diets based on BBers weight alone, may be this would be a ok for a 6 foot 200 pounder BUT for a 5'6'' 200 pounder this would be an over kill so just mentionning weight alone for the prospective "victim" of this diet is misleading from the get go!

Well it is MASS DIET not just MUSCLE MASS DIET lol

They also must not know much about digestion or enzyme kinetics. And lmao at 495g protein, and hat amount of fat and carbs. They must not have much info on nitrogen, fat or carbohydrate metabolism. I feel bad for peoples kidneys and livers.

lol at that entire diet. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read or seen from Flex Magazine. Now every 15 year old aspiring douche is going to believe this crap.

I diet that does not take into account body type (ecto, meso & endo) is never going to work!

Not just height, but age too. Imagine the difference of a 45 year old metabolism and an 18 year old.

It also doesn't take into account life. I work 70 hours a week, I sure have time to eat 10 times a day.
