5. White Rice

White rice is a great source of carbs to help you gain mass while staying lean. Two cups of white rice with a handful of raisins, an ideal postworkout combo that helps to resynthesize muscle glycogen.

You can also mix some dried fruits or some starchy vegetables. It’s pretty much the perfect muscle-building side dish.

6. Bananas

Great taste, on the go. This fruit has an enormous amount of carb content that can be transferred directly into energy. Bananas can boost your energy & endurance so you can push yourself harder in an extended gym session.
