Many scholars believe that bodybuilding diets began with the ancient Greeks. According to Ken R. Wells and Jacqueline L. Longe in the article "Bodybuilding Diet", the desire for physical strength and beauty was influenced by the ancient Greek society that wanted to emulate the perfect physique like the gods, Hercules and Apollo. The same desire for physical strength is apparent in Rome and Egypt.
According to Wells and Longe, "The modern era of bodybuilding began in the late 1800s in England; German strongman Eugen Sandow is credited with being the first professional bodybuilder of the modern era. He was a featured attraction at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago for his feats of strength." Sandow published a magazine that included diet tips. He also opened several weight training studios in England.
Wells and Longe also state, "Sandow's own diet was high in calories, protein, carbohydrates and fats."
