What's the best food for gaining muscle mass for bodybuilding in the gym? Beef or chicken? Or any other food?

To gain muscle, you need to eat a diet that is high in protein, with a moderate amount of carbohydrates and healthy fats. Here are some foods that are best to eat for muscle gain:

1. Meat such as chicken, turkey, beef, and fish.
2. Eggs, which are an excellent source of protein and contain all essential amino acids.
3. Dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, which are high in protein and calcium.
4. Nuts and seeds such as almonds, peanuts, and chia seeds, which are high in healthy fats and protein.
5. Whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, and oats, which provide energy and fiber for muscle growth.

In addition to these foods, it's important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid processed and sugary foods, which can hinder muscle growth and contribute to inflammation and weight gain.

Make sure to consume enough calories and eat protein-rich foods before and after your workouts to promote muscle growth and recovery.

They say eating protein helps with muscle gain. Something about "bulking" and gaining weight, and then turning that weight into muscle.

The go to food is a combo of protein and fat. Packing muscle at your age is going to be difficult because of hormones. If you hop on TRT, you'd have better results.
