When you begin bodybuilding that means altering your diet, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete renovation that’s going to leave you hungry and unsatisfied with no sweet things or fat and if your smart it really needn’t be a big challenge.

So that would be eight cans of tuna minimum and not all of that protein would be absorbed by the body.
