    Question diet for building mass?????

    Hello,
    I am just beginning to workout. What diet would be the best for me to gain mass? I am a thin to medium build, 176 lbs...
    I have heard that a high carb diet might be the way to go.

    Welcome to IM

    Can you post your current diet ...there needs to be a proper balance of macronutriients...I assume you want to gain muscle, as opposed to fat?

    You'll have to learn the lingo bro....around here diet simple refers to your nutrition habits/what you eat....not "diet" in the sense of someone on weight-watchers or something trying to lose a tonne of fat w/o exercising

    Okay...if you want help, you need to give us information...we can't help you if you don't help us. You eat more than meat and potatoes....I guarantee it...please lay out a typical days worth of food, broken down into meals...how many times a day do you eat, what do you eat at each meal, how much, etc.

    You can't "gain mass" if you don't eat! Things to read:

    Bulking w/ slow burners

    Male Cutting Meal Plan This is actually a cutting plan...but it's likely more food than you're used to right now, so would make a good bulking plan for you.
