Thread: Diet Recommendations for muscle building?

I'm 6'0", 165-170 lbs and would like to add about 10-15lbs of muscle... I know that just working out is not as effective as working out with a great diet (preworkout and postworkout), so are there any recommendations, whether its personal experience, books, websites, etc?

Also, any recommended supplements for big muscle gains? I'm aware of creatine which I will most likely use; are there any others?
please no creatine bashing...""Creatine is one of the most-researched sports supplements out there," Kerksick says. "And there's no published literature to suggest it's unsafe."
-Menshealth, and pretty much every single valid source available

Creatine will harm your liver and kidneys. Use whey protein powder only.

You need to have a high protein diet. Try to eat 1 gram per pound of lean body mass. Also carb load an hour or two before your workouts.
Work out one muscle group per day. For example on Monday do your biceps. Tuesday do your triceps. Wednsday Legs. Thursday back. Friday Chest and shoulders. Or however you want to break it up is fine. Embrass soreness and let it heal completely before doing it again. Oh yeah get lots of sleep at least 8 hours per night and if you can work in a mid day nap that would be great.
