How many carbohydrates should be added during muscle gain?
Just over the calories burned by the body is enough.

Whether it's to lose fat or gain muscle, it's helpful to take a proper amount of carbohydrates after training.

Fitness, especially strength training, requires tearing muscles and then reorganizing them through nutrition. In order to restore or enlarge muscles, amino acids must be supplemented. Protein's intake provides raw materials for repairing muscles, while carbohydrates provide energy for repairing muscles.
