Forget the 3 square meals myth, and of course, don't just "graze" all day. A mindful 5 or 6 mini-meals will meet your needs and keep you satisfied. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. Make sure that the added calories in your diet are from healthy foods.
Protein is the key for the muscle mass. Without adequate protein, muscle gain is not possible because weight training demand for amino acids, which comes from protein. You should daily eat about 2.2g of protein per kilogram of your weight. Include high protein foods in your diet. Your protein intake should be from foods rather than from supplements.
