Svasth — Diet Plan to gain Muscle Mass

May be the problem doesn't lie with the exercises and repetitions, the problem lies within the diet you consume before and after workout.

To build a successful house you need bricks, cement, sand and gravel etc. When each of these are mixed altogether, you get to see a fine concrete structure formed.

The same implies to our body. The nutrients we intake altogether form a concrete structure, usually called muscle!

So the more nutrient rich food you consume, the more muscle you gain.

Have a look at the most powerful 7 day meal plan which would result in ultimate muscle gain.

Meal 1

• Oats with apple

Oats are an excellent source of essential vitamins like biotin, folic acid, thiamine, vitamin E, and also elements like iron and zinc.
