Jeremy Buendia has taken on a 4,000 calorie diet to prepare for his return to the stage.

Four time Men’s Physique champion, Jeremy Buendia is preparing to get back on stage and has tailored his diet plan to his goal. Recently, the Men’s Physique legend shared a full day of eating that consists of seven meals, protein and a total of 4,000 calories.

Buendia won four-consecutive Men’s Physique Olympia titles from 2014-17. In 2018, he was defeated by Brandon Hendrickson. Since then, there have bee rumors about Buendia making a return to the stage but nothing came to fruition. Of course, that was until this year. In September, he shared a goal of retuning to the Olympia stage in 2023.

Buendia recently shared that he will compete in an Olympia battle with reigning Men’s Physique champion Erin Banks. It is clear that Buendia is preparing to be in his best shape and discussed the change in his diet.

“I’ve slowly increased the calories as we go along. I started at 3,500, worked to 4,000, now past the 4,500 calories. Been watching my weight go up and down slightly. Woke up about 201 this morning. That’s actually the same weight I was four weeks ago but my body fat is significantly less.”

Jeremy Buendia Meal Plan

Jeremy Buendia shared his most recent day of eating. He admitted to changing it as he goes along and this time, he added a seventh meal.
