    Ample good-quality protein, some healthy fats (MUFA/PUFA as well as saturated, Omega-3 as well as Omega-6), plenty of varied, colorful veggies/fruit for fibers and micronutrients. Keep your calorie deficit (for fat loss) very small, to favor strength and muscle-mass gain alongside. Gaining muscle while losing weight isn't a sure thing, but you get best odds by keeping fat loss really slow.

    This is an evidence-based source for estimating optimal protein intake, from a site generally regarded as unbiased:
