My name is Casey Smith and I am currently preparing for a natural bodybuilding competition this March.
It is the 2010 NPC Vancouver Natural Bodybuilding Championship. I’ll be competing in the novice middleweight class, which is between 165 ¼lbs and 187 ¼lbs.
This will be my first competition.
I’m at about 203lbs right now and I expect to be around 185lbs the day of the competition, carrying around 4-5% body fat.
This nutrition video series logs each meal I consume in my day, in my preparation for my competition.
Thank you for watching!

Hey! Thanks for the sub. I just got the okay to film at my gym (Gold’s Gym) this evening. So I’ll be recording workout videos soon. I am also looking into getting a posing coach through my gym in preparation for my competition, so I will be posting videos of that as well.

No, lol, good question though. I used a Digital Flip Cam, and just stuck it between my chin and my chest. Kind of uncomfortable, but makes it possible to use both my hands

As far as carbs go, …
As far as carbs go, all my carbs come from very fibrous sources. Their main role is to help me maintain my energy levels in the gym and throughout my day. Anything green works. Salads, green beans, peas, spinach, brussel sprouts, etc. Also if you’re going to eat any form of breads, it had best be very grainy and fibrous.

Let’s assume I need …
Let’s assume I need to consume on average, about 2,600 calories a day. What I’ll do is, is cycle my calories per day, going high-to-low and back again like so:
Monday: 2, 500 calories
Tuesday: 2, 900 calories
Wednesday: 2, 700 calories
Thursday: 2, 300 calories
Friday: begin again
*This averages out to be 2, 600 calories a day.
This works quite well because it tricks your body into believing it’s taking in more calories than it actually is, thus you get a healthy metabolic boost!

Great video. From …
Great video. From your video description, it appears as if you’re cutting for competition. For your bulking and cutting, do you simply just eat the same meals, only raising and lowering your caloric intake, or do you do something special for your cuts, like carb cycling? Same with bulking. Do you adjust your macro ratios when bulking?

However, the most …
However, the most important meals of your day are 1) Breakfast, and 2) Your post-workout meal. It is at both these times that your body reaches a state of catabolism, and the food you put in your body should aim to realign yourself back into a state of anabolism.

It all depends on …
It all depends on when you plan on working out. You generally want to eat every 2-3 hours if it is your intention to supply your body with the proper nutrition while lifting weights. Mostly because your body is in a constant state of recovery, and assuming you are working your muscles hard enough, they will need replenishment. Some people can get by eating one meal before their workout. I prefer at least two meals before lifting.

Cool. How many meals should I eat before I go workout? Is this the only meal you eat before you go lift?
