Answers:
To gain muscle mass you should be consuming at least one gram of protein per every pound of your body weight every day, spread out throughout the day. By the way, I think its AWESOME and refreshing that a woman is into body building. I wish there were more. Feel freely to share your progress with me Im interested.Health Question & Answer
I'm a *bit* taller than you & weigh more than you do, but I aim for 100+ grams per day. I just try to make sure to get a protein @ every meal & make sure I have REAL food (not processed) with plenty of water, fiber and fruits & veggies.
If you want to increase your muscle MASS, you should be lifting heavier weights & less reps that will "rip" the muscle instead of lighter weights with more reps that will "tone" it. When your muscle "rips" it repairs itself & gets larger.
Diet & your Excercise Routine are both important, it's not just 1 thing such as the grams of protein, but I'm sure you probably already know that. Health Question & Answer
