Question 1

can you tell me how to measure my muscle mass and body fat percentage?

Accepted Answer

Scale with body fat%: Find a scale that allows you to program height, age etc. in, and has a body fat % reading. These may not be perfect but can give you a general idea. There are handheld devices that are perhaps less accurate. If you want to be specific, there are water displacement tank measurements that are most accurate.

Question 2

how can i put on muscle mass?

Accepted Answer

Eat right, exercise: Building muscle mass requires sufficient protein intake, more than enough to replace what is needed for daily turnover.  It also requires the right set of chemical signals (anabolic hormones) and right places asking to build (exercised muscles).   There is no one specific formula or answer, but best to enlist a professional or someone who has succeeded - you can find both of them in the gym!

Question 3

what to eat to gain muscle mass?

Accepted Answer

See below: The rule of thumb is that you need between 1 and 1.5 times your body weight (if you are overweight, then substitute your target body weight) in grams of complete protein.  Complete proteins are eggs, meat, fish, cheese and milk.  This will work better than incomplete protein, i.e. Soy or plant based. Include more carbs at breakfast and eat healthy fats.  Don't skip meals and drink plenty of water.
