The Journey to the 2024 Legion Sports Fest Pro
Brett Wilkin‘s rise to prominence in the IFBB Pro League came after a string of impressive performances, starting with a sixth-place finish at the prestigious 2022 Arnold Classic.
This breakthrough performance solidified his status as one of bodybuilding’s emerging stars.
His runner-up finish at the 2022 Romania Muscle Fest Pro further showcased his potential, as he battled hard against Behrooz Tabani.
Wilkin then capped off his 2022 season with a victory at the Bigman Weekend Pro in Spain, defeating Andrea Presti to claim gold.
However, Brett Wilkin‘s momentum was halted in 2023 when he was forced to pull out of the Mr. Olympia contest due to severe digestive issues.
“I lost 17 pounds in two weeks,” Wilkin revealed, which led to him taking time off to focus on his health. Now, with a clean bill of health and newfound size, Wilkin is back and ready to conquer the Legion Sports Fest Pro.

Brett Wilkin’s Full Day of Eating: Prepping for Success
Three weeks out from the competition, Brett Wilkin‘s nutrition is carefully tailored to help him achieve peak conditioning while maintaining his impressive muscle mass. He shared his “low” full day of eating, which he follows on days where he aims to drive conditioning.
Meal 1:
- 70 grams of Rice ‘N Grinds (Cream of Rice)
- 200 grams of water
- 3 large eggs
- 5 ounces of turkey breast (99/1 lean)
Brett Wilkin starts his day with a balanced combination of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. “We want to push the conditioning a little bit today,” he explained. He typically has one to three consecutive low days, during which his food intake is reduced to encourage fat loss.
Meal 2:
- 8 ounces of chicken
- Flavor Gang Stir Fry Sauce
Brett Wilkin keeps things simple for his second meal, which he packs to go. “It’s very basic, especially on a low day,” he said, acknowledging the repetitive nature of bodybuilding diets.
Meal 3:
- Ground beef (93/7 lean)
- 180 grams of rice
- Flavor Gang Nerdy Sanchez Taco Sauce
- Taco seasoning
Meal three features ground beef and rice, providing a balance of protein and carbohydrates to fuel his workouts. This meal contains approximately 55 grams of carbohydrates, essential for maintaining his energy levels throughout the day.
Meal 4:
- 70 grams of Rice ‘N Grinds (Cream of Rice)
- 20 grams of salted chocolate almond butter
- Protein shake (Cbum Itholate Milk and Cookies – 2 scoops, 75 grams)

Brett Wilkin’s post-workout meal combines quick-digesting carbohydrates from cream of rice with a protein shake to aid in recovery. He notes that this is a staple meal in his prep, particularly after intense training sessions.
Meal 5:
- 8 ounces of chicken
- 180 grams of rice
- 20 grams of salted chocolate almond butter
Fats are an essential component of Wilkin’s diet, even on low days. “If you’ve noticed, I pretty much have fats in every single meal,” he said, explaining that fats help slow down digestion and provide sustained energy. With his high metabolism, fats play a crucial role in keeping his body fueled and functioning efficiently.
Meal 6:
- Protein shake (whey Itholate Cookie Cbum RAW protein powder – 60 grams)
- 20 grams of almond butter
- 40 grams of Organic Quick Oats
Wilkin rounds out his day with a protein shake and oats, a lighter meal designed to help him meet his protein needs without overloading his system late at night.
