Sadik Hadzovic’s Shredding Diet Plan
Sadik Hadzovic put together a meal plan that consists of 2,200 calories ahead of the show.
Meal 1
Sadik Hadzovic switches his breakfast during the final week of prep before the show. He will sub a grapefruit in for his usual oatmeal while avoiding BCAAs and EAAs. Hadzovic will also focus on hydration and adds a second gallon of water each day with lemon.
“If you want to be a good bodybuilder, you have to drink a lot of water. Why? The body is mostly water. Because I’m drinking up to two gallons a day, I have to flavor my water because it’s so bland.”
Meal 2
Hadzovic’s second meal of the day after his trip to the gym. In attempts to add more carbs and fats, Hadzovic added three ounces of rice to this post-workout meal.
- 7 ounces chicken breast
- 8 ounces rice

Meal 3
Hadzovic continued to add some extra ounces and this meal, it was three extra of red meat. This continues to increase his fat consumption during the final week of prep.
- 7 ounces ground beef
- 110 grams asparagus
- 5 ounces rice
“I negotiated from four ounces of ground beef to seven. We’re using asparagus number one, for it’s diuretic purposes. It helps you pee a lot. Number two, we’re using it because there’s no carbs here. It’s mostly fibrous.”
Meal 4
- 7 ounces tilapia
- 5 ounces rice
“Under 400-calorie meal. That’s lean, 215-pound, almost six-feet tall and I’m eating meals that are under 300-400 calories each.”

Meal 5
Sadik Hadzovic likes to add a clean ‘cheat meal’ into his daily meal plan. He did not add this into his calorie intake.
- Chicken hibachi
- White rice
- Salad
- 6 pieces salmon sashimi
“I’m going to enjoy the hell out of this. This doesn’t count during the 2,200 calories. This is the surprise I was talking about. I feel spoiled right now.”
Meal 6
The final meal of the day added more chicken and asparagus with almond butter.
- 7 ounces chicken breast
- 4 ounces asparagus
- 16 grams almond butter
“If I were natural, 2,300 calories, I’d probably burn through so much of my muscle tissue. It’s the anabolics which keeps you anabolic, which is the opposite of catabolic. Catabolic is when you break down your muscle tissues for energy. Carbs provide you with energy and so do fats.”
