What sort of foods are best to gain muscle?

High protein is a duh, but should I use fat or carbs? How can you gain muscle without gaining any fat at the same time?

And if I get a bot (or whatever) recommending acai berry, I’m going to snap.

    low fat high carb and protein diet.
    you want simple carbs directly post workout
    complex carbs the rest of the day except maybe pre workout for energy
    lots of meat and eggs for high quality protein
    i guess u can eat beans and nuts but the quality of that protein isnt as good, and stay away from soy use whey.
    and wat do u mean by how can u gain muscle without gaining fat? why would u gain fat?

    Whey is one of the best sources of food for gaining muscle — a high protein whey shake every morning is important to feed your muscles — add fresh or frozen berries.

    Additional Sources for Protein

    – Grilled Chicken Breast
    – Lean Ground Turkey and turkey breast
    – Venison, Elk
    – Lean Cuts of Beef, extra lean ground beef
    – Grilled Fish, scallops
    – Low Fat Milk (1% or Skim), low fat yogurt, low fat cottage cheese,
    – Unsalted Nuts, almonds, sunflower seeds

    Best Sources for Carbohydrates

    – Whole Wheat Bread, tortillas, and Bagels
    – Fresh fruits (all berries are great for shakes) and vegetables (unlimited) avoid fruit juice because of the high sugar content
    – Oatmeal
    – Bran Muffins
    – Rye Bread
    – Sweet Potatoes
    – Brown Rice
    – Lentils and beans

    Cut out all sugar and junk food.

    You also want to gradually increase your weights — you need to increase the demands you impose on your body in order to make it bigger, stronger and leaner. Muscle will modify itself to meet the challenges and it will grow in proportion to the amount of work it is required to do.

    The best methods to increase muscle are: Resistance, repetitions and increasing the work volume.

    Tuna is a great source of protein with low fat (don’t use mayo). You have to intake some fat with your diet but try to focus on healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, etc). Keep the carbs simple and healthy (whole wheats, fruits, etc).
    Shakes can work well, just be careful about some of the other health info on the label. Some of them are very high in cholesterol, which can cause health problems while you get healthy.
