Bruce Lee was known to consume a lot of healthy foods as he believed a good diet was one of the keys to successful physical fitness. He was not one to eat junk food as there was no nutritional value in it. Early on he started taking nutrition serious and used health foods, protein shakes and lots of fruit. He even used vitamin and mineral supplements.

Bruce used to make his own juice using various vegetables and fruit that he would mix in a blender. Chinese and Asian food were his preference as he felt they were more healthy and flavorful and American food was too bland. Bruce believed in extra protein for muscle growth and made protein shakes with milk, but this may be the only time he used a milk product and he may have used powdered milk.

He did not eat large meals, he would eat four or five smaller meals and some snacks of fruit. This is a common way to eat these days for bodybuilders. It keeps you from overloading on too much food at once with a large meal and smaller frequent meals keeps supplying fuel to the muscles throughout the day.

Back in Bruce Lee's time there was not as good of protein powder as is available today. What was available was protein tablets and such and this is what he may have used. Also popular at this time was Desiccated liver tablets which was used for some protein and minerals. Other items he used were Bee pollen, Royal Jelly, Wheat Germ and Vitamin C among others things. Following a diet similar to Bruce Lee's may be a good way for all of us to try to better our health.
