How to figure out how many calories to eat pre workout and post workout for gaining muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Diet and calories do not gain muscle although protein intake can provide a degree of benefit. If you take in more calories than you burn up, you gain fat, not muscle.
