Class 1 Med + Bulking Up = Mix/No Mix??

Hi,
I am still not a pilot, however I am d*mn certain I want to be one soon! But being the type of guy who likes to work out and bulk up I would like to know whether taking in a lot of protein can negatively affect the chances of passing the Class 1 medical.

I go to the gym regularly with the aim to build up more weight (not to the extremes of bodybuilders, but still I would want to bulk up to some extent). Of course, this requires a lot of protein intake every day. As I have not seen pilots who are built up I wondered whether the reason was due to the medical or whether they are just d*mn lazy!


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!
A.O.

PS: I am against steroids so dont even bother thinking of bringing the issue up
