The traditional approach when you have to drop a considerable amount of weight in Thailand is to don a sweatsuit and perform gruelling runs in the excessive heat, sit in a sauna to sweat it out, skip meals, and basically run yourself into the ground before the fight even takes place. This is not only counter-productive but also potentially dangerous. Using the sweatsuit and sauna during the early stages of making weight has the potential to seriously dehydrate the fighter which will affect cognitive function and, if hydration levels drop low enough, cause the blood to thicken. His macro ratios were roughly 23% protein, 15% fat and 62% carbohydrates. The higher protein intake would aid in muscle recovery, support lean mass and keep him better satiated. I put as much variety as I could in to it to dispel boredom and give him as many different sources of nutrients as possible. The meal plan I put him on was set up in a 3 day rota with a higher fat/lower carb day on his rest day, Sunday. I kept protein consistent to ensure best possible recovery and lean muscle support.
