The number one thing for an athlete to build muscle and lose fat is to decrease the eating process of foods. The other thing that helps is to try cut down on eating fatty foods. Not eating fat foods will help you build lots of lean muscle mass. Also to cut down on the fat is reduce your daily calorie intake. So if an average athlete takes in 4500 calories a day. That athlete should reduce there intake by at least 1000 calories a day. Doing this will make you more slim and help build lean muscle mass as long as your cutting down on the fat foods.
As an athlete you should stay away from processed foods and trans fat foods. These types of foods do not have vitamins and minerals that you need. You should be eating organic foods, meats such as steaks,fish and chicken. Also eggs,vegetables and fruits are another big factor to cutting down the fat and building good lean muscle. Eating also isn't the only thing that is important, water intake and proper juices throughout the day helps as well. Orange juice and cranberry juice have a great source of vitamins. So lowering your calorie intake and eating correctly everyday should be a good healthy way to reduce fat.

Your blog caught my eye because I am an athlete myself. I totally agree that cutting down on fats will help on building muscle. It will also make you feel better and more energized. I believe that cutting down on fats and replacing them with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables will also help. I found some great foods for you that are really good for runners, which is good for other athletes too because most sports require some running! Here are the top 15 foods that I found on runners world: Almonds, eggs, sweet potato, whole green cereal with protein, oranges, canned black beans, mixed salad greens, salmon, whole grain bread, frozen stir-fry vegetables, whole grain pasta, chicken, berries, dark chocolate, and low fat yogurt!
