Muscle is made up of protein (and other things like water), but you need protein to build more mass. Animal protein is the best (not full of fat though) and whey isolate powder will help too. Sometimes I cant eat all that protein in meat, so I supplement with the powder. You need enough protein and weight bearing exercises, especially on low carb diets, to ensure that you dont lose muscle mass.
