Julia Vins – Diet and Nutrition

When it comes to her diet, Julia Vins likes to keep things fairly strict. Although she does allow herself one cheat meal a week, to reward herself for the hard work. She typically consumes five meals a day. However, she does adjust her diet for when she is in competition, or out of the competition. 

Vins feels that around 3,000 kilocalories are right around what she needs to build lean muscle. Additionally, she will typically have around 150g of protein in her daily diet. She largely gets this through typical means like chicken, egg whites, and fish. Moreover, she considers protein to be the most important part of her diet.

As far as macronutrients are concerned, she tries to avoid fast-acting carbohydrates. Instead, Vins prefers a mix of slow-releasing foods like sweet potatoes and brown rice. This allows for her to receive the most benefits from her nutrition as possible.

• Rice
• Buckwheat
• Beef
• Chicken
• Eggs
• Broccoli
• Tomatoes
• Oatmeal
• Beans
• Dairy

As for supplementation, Vins oftentimes does not take any form of supplement during training. On the other hand, she will take supplements when it is time to compete. Instead of using them to build muscle or burn fat, she likes to use supplements to aide in her performance in competition.

Some of the supplements Vins likes to use include:

• BCAAs – 30-60g/day
• CLA
• Creatine
• Vitamins
• Fish oil
• Glutamine
