He physical training is the key to gain muscle mass but it is not the only factor that influences since the feeding is also important to achieve this goal. The key is to have a hypercaloric dietthat is, eating more calories than we burn, just the opposite process of when we want to lose weight.
The amount and frequency of protein and carbohydrate consumption to gain muscle mass will depend on the level of training and the goal that each person wants to achieve. In addition, we must also take into account the body fat and muscle mass values from which we start.

Foods that help gain muscle mass
Barbara Sánchez, a sports nutritionist, highlighted the type of diet required to gain muscle mass. The main thing is that all foods are rich in protein, such as meat, fish or egg. But foods rich in carbohydrates are also important, since they help maintain that muscle mass. Among all these, the tubers, rice and pasta.
Another factor to take into account is the intake. Meals should be spread throughout the day. And above all, you have to pay particular attention to your post-workout meal. This will help activate the physiological mechanisms of muscle recovery after performing the training stimulus.
