bodybuilders, a 2,100-calorie meal plan is quite low for their recommended daily caloric intake. However, when cutting, this eating plan may help some of them reach their goals. Read on to find out how a 2,100-calorie meal plan can help you achieve your fitness goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=2100_Calorie_Meal_Plan_\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Cutting_in_Bodybuilding\"><\/span><b>What Is Cutting in Bodybuilding?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting or the cutting phase is where bodybuilders reduce their calorie intake, consuming foods in a calorie deficit in order to shed body fat and maintain muscle mass. The goal with any cutting diet is for the individual to become as lean as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting is the opposite of bulking, where the latter is a phase in which bodybuilders eat a lot more calories and also work out harder using heavier weights to build as much muscle as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out this article to learn more details about a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/clean-bulking-meal-plan\/\"><b>clean bulking meal plan<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for optimal results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2100-Calorie_Meal_Plan_Bodybuilding_Can_You_Gain_Muscle_on_This_Eating_Plan\"><\/span><b>2,100-Calorie Meal Plan Bodybuilding: Can You Gain Muscle on This Eating Plan?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes and no. Gaining muscle on such a diet largely depends on your individual energy needs, lifestyle, and what your body was like before you started this meal plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To expound on this, we must look at this in two ways<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=2100_Calorie_Meal_Plan_\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-67761\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/low-carb-high-protein-meal-plan-1024x576.png\" alt=\"2100 Calorie Meal Plan \" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/low-carb-high-protein-meal-plan.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/low-carb-high-protein-meal-plan-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/low-carb-high-protein-meal-plan.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/low-carb-high-protein-meal-plan-1636x920.png 1636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bodybuilders\"><\/span><b>Bodybuilders<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bodybuilders, especially competitive bodybuilders, tend to cycle between two eating and exercise phases, namely <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/high-calorie-foods-for-bulking\/\">bulking<\/a> and cutting (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31009437\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). As explained above, while in the bulking phase, they eat more calories than normal (which means they\u2019re in a calorie surplus) and they also put in more time at the gym in order to build muscle(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15107010\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study published in 2019 stated that during this bulking phase, bodybuilders should increase their daily caloric intake by 10% to 20% (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6680710\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Further research has also shown that some bodybuilders, particularly males, can even consume as much as 3,800 kcal a day while in the bulking phase (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7052702\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As cutting is the opposite of bulking, bodybuilders aren\u2019t looking to build any muscle. As explained above, the muscle is built in the bulking phase. Cutting works to simply maintain the muscle and reduce the fat that they gained while in a calorie surplus during bulking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because these people are now eating less than they ate before and not exercising as heavily as before, gaining any more muscle mass can be difficult. Therefore, for seasoned and competitive bodybuilders, especially males, a 2,100-calorie meal plan probably won\u2019t lead to any more muscle gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe: Health Coaching app helps you achieve your body goals with ease and efficiency by helping to choose proper meal plans and effective workouts.

Where you fall within these ranges will vary based on factors such as age and activity level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve seen in the \u2018bodybuilders\u2019 section above, the two main basics behind<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/high-protein-meal-plan\/\"> muscle gain<\/a> are your diet and your workout routine. If you want to increase your muscle mass, it\u2019s imperative that you provide your body with appropriate amounts of calories and nutrients, particularly protein.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has suggested that in terms of macronutrients, protein plays the biggest role in building muscle mass (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1383571823000785\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31009437\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). In fact, even with competitive bodybuilders, the study showed that the intake of protein remains higher than normal regardless of whether they\u2019re in a bulking or cutting phase<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t disregard your carbohydrates and fats. These two macronutrients help with energy production in the muscles, which is what you need to support the heavier workouts that you will be doing (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1383571823000785\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does this mean for the average person? Can a 2,100-calorie meal plan help with bodybuilding?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it can, but only if the man or woman in question requires less than 2,100 kcal a day to maintain their weight. Bulking requires a 300 to 500 caloric surplus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, regardless of your gender, if your normal daily calorie needs are between 1,600 and 1,800 kcal, by increasing your workouts, especially by doing more resistance training exercises with heavier weights, and consuming a 2,100-calorie meal plan high-protein diet, you should be able to gradually increase your muscle mass over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/intermittent-fasting-muscle-gain\/\">Building Muscle with Intermittent Fasting: What You Need to Know<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sample_Of_an_Easy_2100-Calorie_Meal_Plan\"><\/span><b>Sample Of an Easy 2,100-Calorie Meal Plan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mapping out a new eating plan can be quite confusing, particularly if you\u2019re unsure where to start.

This means that you must eat all the food groups and not cut out any. Well-balanced meals or diets ensure that you\u2019re energized throughout the day and not missing any important nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foods you should consume to ensure this meal plan is balanced include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Dark Leafy Greens\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These include vegetables such as arugula, kale, spinach, bok choy, Swiss chard, broccoli, mustard greens, and collard greens. These greens are rich in antioxidants and very low in sodium and calories, which makes them good for your health and weight loss goals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ars.usda.gov\/plains-area\/gfnd\/gfhnrc\/docs\/news-articles\/2013\/dark-green-leafy-vegetables\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Legumes, Lentils, and Soy Products<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re cutting for fat loss, legumes and lentils are incredibly important in your diet. They\u2019re an excellent source of complex carbs, full of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/protein-and-fiber-foods\/\">protein and fiber<\/a>. Protein is essential for any cutting or calorie deficit diet as it helps with satiety and also increases metabolism slightly through increased thermogenesis (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0002916523236643\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). It can also help preserve muscle mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber is not only fantastic for your overall health, lowering the risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and certain gastrointestinal diseases, but diets that are higher in fiber have been linked to increased muscle mass and strength (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19335713\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8718023\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Fatty Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fish and seafood are full of omega-3 fatty acids, low in calories and also fantastic sources of lean protein. All these factors make them great for fat loss which equals good weight loss and cutting results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of improved muscle mass, research shows that fish consumption can improve both muscle mass and function in middle-aged and older adults &#8211; a factor that helps slow down sarcopenia &#8211; muscle loss that occurs with aging (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/12\/2\/307\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8710756\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=2100_Calorie_Meal_Plan_\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62336\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-Day-Meal-Plan-For-Muscle-Gain-\u2013-The-Basics-Of-The-Bodybuilders-Diet-1024x576.png\" alt=\"2100 Calorie Meal Plan \" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Eggs, Lean Animal Protein, and Poultry\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these are incredible sources of protein, a macronutrient that\u2019s essential to muscle growth and increased satiety. Poultry, lean meats, and eggs also make some of the best foods for cutting, especially if the person in question is following a high-protein or even ketogenic diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Nuts and Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples include almonds, hemp seeds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, cashews, sesame seeds, and chia seeds. All nuts and seeds are fantastic sources of plant protein and healthy fats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Whole Grains, Breads, and Pasta\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike simple carbs, complex carbohydrates are essential when trying to build muscle. When consumed, these carbs are turned into glucose that your body uses as a source of energy. A lack of carbs in your diet forces your body to use muscle as fuel, which makes you lose muscle mass and mess with your gains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having carbs immediately before (at least 30 minutes) and after your workout can help give you energy for your workout and replenish any lost energy. Examples of whole grains include oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice, buckwheat, barley, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to free yourself from all the extra pounds that have been weighing you down for way too long, <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=2100_Calorie_Meal_Plan_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start using the BetterMe: Health Coaching app<\/a> and overhaul your entire life!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Use_a_2100-Calorie_Meal_Plan_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Can You Use a 2,100-Calorie Meal Plan for Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a way, yes. You could use the 2,100-calorie meal plan as a weight loss strategy. However, this will only work for someone whose energy needs for maintaining their weight are more than 2,100 calories a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total number of calories a person needs each day varies and is dependent on multiple factors such as the person\u2019s age, sex, height, weight, and level of physical activity. However, the average needs for men and women are 2,000 kcal to 3,000 kcal and 1,600 kcal to 2,400 kcal, respectively (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-12\/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans_2020-2025.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, eating 2,100 calories a day will put many men (and some women) on a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/why-am-i-not-losing-weight-in-a-calorie-deficit\/\">caloric deficit<\/a> that leads to weight loss.

Do More Compound Exercises<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They work out more muscle groups in a single move, thereby burning more calories and building stronger muscles. Great examples of such exercises include barbell deadlifts, squats, dumbbell bench presses, dumbbell walking lunges, kettlebell squats, and pull-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Keep Your Heart Rate Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is better achieved when you take short breaks during your workouts. Instead of taking a 2-minute break between sets, reduce this time to 30 to 45 seconds. This helps burn more calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Sleep More<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lack of enough sleep leads to increased levels of cortisol in your body, which makes it more difficult for you to lose weight and fat. Try getting 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Avoid Overtraining.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You still need your rest days, even while cutting, as they will help you avoid overtraining.
