How the off-season diet of Chris Bumstead looks like?

Having achieved what he wanted, Bumstead is now taking things slow, toning down on his diet and exercise, the bodybuilder is ensuring to give his body the much-needed rest after his bicep injury. Starting his first meal after finishing his workout, he adds a bit of taste to it. Typically CBum prefers to take 120 grams of oats for the pancakes during the off-season.

However, he has recently reduced the portion of oats and added a mix of birch benders. To maintain the nutrient quotient, he also adds glutamine and fiber supplements. Sometimes to add a dash of flavor, he also sprinkles blueberries. Keeping a check of 704 calories for his breakfast, Chris then concentrates on the second meal of the day. It includes a chicken and rice meal.

During his second meal, he took 480 calories of food. Bumstead takes the next meal at around 3-4 pm. But on the day of the shoot, he was a little behind schedule. Keeping the 3rd meal simple, he just had a brown rice pasta and beef meal bowl that was around 720 calories.

Bumstead’s diet throughout the day  

Having just completed his Olympia season, the bodybuilder is not pushing himself to the extremes.
