Follow a Proper Diet:

What you eat is definitely going to help you with bulking and getting stronger. You need to fuel your muscles, and you take it all from food. Being on calorie deficit will not allow you to put on muscle mass. If you are about to lose weight and gain lean muscle mass and strength then is better to prioritize your goals. Cut off weight and them think about adding some muscle mass.

In order to grow muscles, you need protein. Take about 1-2 gr of protein for each pound of body weight. The best is to increase meal frequency throughout the day as to have 5-6 small portions meals. Also, take some protein right after the workouts when muscles can intake more energy and nutrients.  Secondly, you have to increase the calorie intake with about 500 calories to give your muscles extra energy.

If you are not sure how many calories men or women should eat per day in order to promote muscle growth than here is the answer: about 3000 calories per day for men and 2500 calories for women. Divide this amount of calories to a number of meals you plan to have per day, but make sure it has not less than 500 calories.

The last, but not the least concentrated on healthy foods like vegetables, fruits and add some multivitamins too. You can consider adding some muscle building supplements like creatine. But be careful too much protein may damage your kidney. There is no room for fast food, soda drinks or alcohol. All of them will just slow down the muscle gaining process and cause you to add more fat than lean muscle mass. And surely do not want it.
