What is Jeremy Buendia's Bulking Diet That Made Him Gain 19 lbs in 2 Weeks?

Bodybuilder Jeremy Buendia is putting all his efforts into packing in the pounds while away from competition. The bodybuilder requires a proper meal for such a massive physique. In a recent video posted on his social media channel, he shared a meal for bulking, which he implemented during the off-season.

Jeremy Buendia had an impressive run in the Men’s Physique category, becoming the Olympia champion in 2014-2018. He stepped back from competing for a while after he was defeated at the 2018 Mr. Olympia. Brandon Hendrickson took home the title and Jeremy Buendia was placed in fourth position, right after Ryan Terry, Raymond Edmonds, and Hendrickson.

He also announced that he would make his comeback soon. It was confirmed from sources that he wanted to bulk up to 220 pounds (99.79 kilograms) and return looking the best and most massive he has ever been. Recently on his social media channel, Jeremy Buendia shared his diet in the off-season ahead of his highly-predicted return to competition.

He said:

"When I prepare shakes for a few meals it’s around 4600 calories, approx 40 grams of protein, 40 plus grams of carbs and around 70 grams of fat. I stay as close as I can with my diet, although we are in the off season now, I’ll give myself leeway to have a variation in foods.”

These meals are rich in protein, which helps to recover muscles after doing a heavy workout.
