What to eat? Eat nutritiously, using foods you personally enjoy eating. Your MFP food log is a good tool to help you tune in good nutrition.

Protein is especially important, but not the only important thing. You can get a research-based protein-needs estimate here:

Explanation here: https://examine.com/guides/protein-intake/

You also need enough fats, and plenty of nice, varied, colorful veggies/fruits for micronutrients and fiber.

Perhaps most important of all, you need a good strength training program that's in line with your specific goals. If you don't already have one, there's a discussion here:

(Despite the title, it does include some bodyweight programs, for folks without gym/equipment access.)

If muscle gain is your goal, you'll probably find kindred spirits in the Gaining Weight and Body Building part of the MFP Community, direct link here:

I wish you excellent results, but because I'm a pretty sub-par MFP friend (more of a Community forum gal), I'm not sending a friend request - apologies.

Best wishes!
