    You need a well balanced diet. Protein is obviously key. I intake 100-150g a day. Easy options- 1/2c chicken, 1/2c turkey, 4oz Tuna, muscle milk, wonder wheat light bread (9g), dannon Oikos yogurt 12g, eggs (no, cholesterol won't kill you), 1oz peanuts, 1oz almonds, 1oz mixed nuts, etc

    Potassium- works in conjuctiom with protein. Bananas, some vegetables, berries, muscle milk,

    Carbs- depending on what exercises you are doing, you may need more or less. 45-50% should suffice.

    Veggies- hate them, gotta have them.

    Lastly, you have to eat 200-500 extra calories a day to switch your body from weight loss to muscle gain. In simple terms, your body has two "modes". It is either losing or gaining. To gain muscle your body needs extra fuel.
