The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of thousands of people around the world and even with vaccination, the number of infected was high. This research aimed to verify the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on food consumption and training of bodybuilders. A cross-sectional survey was carried out with 134 bodybuilders, of both sexes, from the Southwest of Paraná, Brazil, aged between 18 and 50 years, in September 2021. The survey was carried out through the Google Forms® website, sent to volunteers through direct messages and social media. Data were tabulated and analyzed using the GNU PSPP 1.4.1-g79ad47 software. Most respondents reported an increase in appetite (50%), the amount of food eaten during the day (47%) and body weight (41.8%), with the majority believing that the weight gain was due to fat body. Also, 40.3% of respondents reported that the frequency of bodybuilding practice decreased during the pandemic. Despite this, it was observed that individuals reported consuming more fruits (50.7%), green (49.3%), vegetables (45.5%) and less sugar or sweeteners (34.3%), sugary drinks (31.3%) and fast food snacks (29.9%). It was possible to conclude that despite the impact of the pandemic on bodybuilding practice, perception of increased appetite, weight and food intake, there was an improvement in the quality of food consumption in this population.
