Dr. Stephen Southard answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Supplement wise: There is no one right answer. The caloric intake required for you to gain weight is dependent on how active you are(as in how many calories you are burning). To gain muscle mass you need to take in more calories than you burn and have a positive nitrogen balance(to promote muscle building).
