Urs Kalecinski Diet Plan While chicken, rice, and broccoli are a trusted choice amongst bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts alike, you’re going to need more than that if you want to make it to the top of the ladder. Urs Kalecinski understands this and has chalked out an extensive diet plan for himself.

For as exhaustive as his diet plan is, it’s just as versatile. This means that he can alter portion sizes and servings to cater to his needs, depending on whether he’s on an off-season bulk or trying to trim some fat in time for his shows.




Here’s what a full day of eating looks like for him:

Meal 1
  • Oats – 80g
  • 8 egg whites
  • 2 whole eggs
  • Blueberries and Raspberries – 120g
  • Calorie intake: 672.48 Calories
Meal 2 Urs’ pre-workout meals are typically rich in carbs, as this gives him the energy he needs to go all-in at the gym. He tends to avoid fats before working out as this makes his meals heavier, causing him to feel sluggish and lethargic.

  • Rice flakes – 80g
  • Raspberries – 120g
  • Whey protein isolate – 50g
  • Calorie intake: 530.3 Calories
Meal 3 Urs prefers an easy-to-cook meal after his training session, as he’s usually quite tired after his workout. Here’s what his post-workout meal consists of:

  • Corn flakes – 100g
  • Whey protein isolate – 50g
  • Calorie intake: 528.5 Calories
Meals 4, 5, and 6 These three meals are the same with a few minor rotations. He typically likes eating chicken or beef, and sometimes fish.

Kalecinski also makes it a point to include an assortment of veggies in his midday meals.

  • Rice – 70g
  • Chicken/Beef/Fish – 150g
  • Vegetables – 100g
  • Calorie intake: 431.7 Calories each.
Meal 7 This is Urs’ last meal of the day. It is completely carb-free, as fats induce better sleep. From an assortment of proteins and fats, here’s what Kalecinski chose:

  • Avocado – 100g
  • Calorie intake: 366.28 Calories
