I believe that boxers should not limit their eating nor should they be on a strict diet. I could be wrong here but since boxers train intense everyday, then the food that they eat would eventually burn off. As long as they stay on a weight that is close to their fighting weight, then they could eat whatever they want. Again, this is how I feel.

Why do that when you can be shredded and have more muscle than your opponent?

Which doesnt make sense? I just see some boxers out there who are on a strict diet. Boxing is a demanding sport, and to limit your food intake, I believe your training would suffer.

A: metabolism

B: 9 times out of 10 if a person is allowed to 'eat whatever they want' it's going to be junk.

Get a few fights under your belt and try competing in a specific weight class (not match bouts where you can weigh whatever you want, but actual tournaments where you have to make a target weight) and then come back and tell me how eating as much and whatever you want worked out for you.

It could just be me but the more I follow a strict diet, the harder it is to lose weight.

Then you're doing it wrong.

[BEER:30]

Didn't you say a while back that you just started a few months ago? You haven't had a fight yet, but you've been boxing for three years?

Yep, gonna be having my first fight on November 10. I didnt fight the past few years coz of school and I didnt think I would be able to handle it.

[viru§™]

So using your theory I could get someone eating 5000 cals a day (not balanced P/C/F just whatever they like) but they won't gain weight because they box?

Complete bollox.

I wish you luck, but I think you'll realize that you're thinking is a off after while...

[cardstars]

WTF.....im speechless......

[JMonster]

i hope/think that maybe what ur saying is that when ur hungry for a lil snack, it's ok to eat it based on that ur body wouldn't tell u that u were hungry if u really weren't? another example would be say u worked out harder that day so ur body was more hungry, it's ok to eat more food because ur body actually needs it...??? hope i maybe straightened somet things out...

[SweetScience]

Yep.. That's what im trying to say JMonster.

[Johnboy2007]

Rather strange post. I personally dont have a strict diet. Im not a boxer yet , (i was boxing for a few months but im going away soon so cant keep it up) so i do tend to eat a few fatty foods that i know i shouldnt. I eat alot of cheeses and dairy products cos of the protein and cos of the exercise and training i know im burning most of the fat in these products off (iv not gained weight) And i have the odd beer ect.

HOWEVER !!! i would never say that diet doesnt matter to a boxer. And i dont know who put this idea into your head my friend. When i get back from my 4 month trip and i get back into training i will be working out my diet very carefully. Not just as a boxer should but as any athelete should. Just google nutrition and boxing or nutrition and sport and youll see why youve had the above comments. Sorry dude :thumbsup

[JMonster]

i figured...it might work for ur body, but not everybody can do it. some ppl will eat till they throw up like a dog if someone doesn't stop them lol. another thing that i think that ur thinking of is diet as in not eating as much foods to lose weight or to keep the same weight ect. where as the ppl here r thinking diet as in eating 2-3 servings on protein, 4-5 dairy or w/e the hell the pyramid says. if it works for u, do it, if not, listen to what they all r saying lol. hope i could help

[The_Hammer]

to be fair your theory actually supports strict dieting. You said that as long as you maintain close to fighting weight, you can eat whatever you want and as much of it as you want. Well, if you are going to stay at your fighting weight you're pretty much limited to a strict diet.
