How Does Dana Linn Bailey Diet to Get Shredded?

Controlling one’s diet by manipulating calories into a deficit to lose fat and reveal the hard-earned muscle underneath is critical for bodybuilders and their aesthetics. If the body fat percentage is too high, the conditioning won’t be up to snuff, and the visuals on stage will be weakened even in the muscle mass on one’s frame. On March 10, 2023, former Women’s Physique Olympia champion Dana Linn Bailey took to her YouTube channel to share how she diets to get shredded — meaning lean enough to show off the separation between muscles. Check it out below:Typically, Bailey doesn’t eat her first meal until 1 p.m. The exception to that is when she trains before that first meal, in which case, she drinks her calories in the form of a Chobani Complete — a yogurt-based drink that has a high protein content (20 grams) against its overall calories (170).Bailey’s first of three daily meals featured two ounces of ground beef — 93% lean — onions, egg whites, and cream of wheat. She tops it with sugar-free maple syrup and sliced banana. It totaled 440 calories. Meal two was “bland,” in Bailey’s opinion, but helps her get the macros needed to maintain her cut. It consisted of five ounces of ground chicken and one cup of white rice topped with Japanese hot and spicy barbecue sauce.Bailey’s last meal is the largest calorie-wise of the day —587 calories. Her daily macro breakdown is as follows:

Fat — 26 grams
Carbs — 191 grams
Protein — 129 grams
Calories — 1,514 calories

234 from fat
764 from carbs
516 from protein



Part of what makes Bailey’s diet successful is her ability to maintain it without having to put too much thought into it. She doesn’t feel like she is restricted in her intake or longing for more food. If anything, she presented as though she was eating more than she would have otherwise preferred.
