[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Body builders have one of the most disciplined diet and training regiments of any athlete. I would be proud if my daughter choose to do this. NO HORMONE SUPPLEMENTS though! Or anything like that. As long as she keeps it natural I wouldn't worry.[/quote]

OP here. THanks for all the responses. I agree with avoiding hormonal supplements aswell as how much discipline it takes. It can be hard for this old school italian mom to see her DD bring boiled chicken breasts and an avocado to sunday dinner though :)[/quote]

OP:  The boiled chicken breast phase is a phase that is bland. Maybe you can think of some lower-calorie ways to include flavor in her cooking. For example, tomatoes have no carbs, few calories, and lots of flavor. Same is true for garlic, herbs, onions.  Explain to her that 1t of EVOO on a pound or 2 of breasts is nothing.  (do some serving math...it only adds 20 calories or something a serving).

Also, if she's hi pro, she needs to balance with fiber (or she will get constipated). Introduce her to a good "clean" bean recipe.  you can make this work for the two of you.

ANy ways you have of making protein taste better without adding calories (or very few) would probably be welcome by her.

(I'm the post-bb poster above and I can coax some flavor out of food with minimal calories added).  [/quote]
