If you are trying to gain muscle mass, first focus on an exercise program focused on muscle growth. This will mean regular weight lifting (3-6 days per week) while slowly increasing weight resistance. Focus on eating a clean diet with a calorie surplus of 200-300 calories per day, the surplus calories should come from a quality protein source. Target a protein intake of 1.5-2g/kg of body weight.
