Nutrition
Consume a balanced diet that includes lean protein sources (chicken, fish, tofu, beans), complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, vegetables), and healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil). Protein is especially important for muscle repair and growth, so make sure you're getting enough.
Caloric Surplus
Caloric surplus is when the total intake of calories in a
day is more than what you burn. A caloric surplus is essential for muscle gain.
If you hit the gym regularly, you're more likely to lose weight and increase
muscle mass
Rest and Recovery
Muscles grow during periods of rest, not when you're working out. Make sure to get enough sleep (7-9 hours per night) to support muscle repair and recovery. Rest days between workouts are also crucial for allowing your muscles to recover and grow stronger.
Hydration
Hydration is the replacement of body fluids lost through sweating, exhaling, and eliminating waste. On average, the body loses and needs to replace about 2-3 quarts of water daily. Luckily, many foods we eat are composed mostly of water. Foods with high water content include greens and most fruits and vegetables.
Consistency
Building muscle takes time and consistency. Stick to your workout routine and nutrition plan over the long term for best results.
