Absolutely agreed. MyFitnessPal is an excellent starting point for gaining, losing, or maintaining bodily mass down to the terms of macro distribution. If you pay for the premium version (like I do) you get to receive full breakdowns of where the majority of your carbohydrates are coming from, and more in depth looks into the foods you are consuming.
Do you use a heart rate monitor? I use a Fitbit blaze for the majority of my HIIT and even my weight training routines, and it greatly helps to keep things into perspective. But high proteins, moderate carbohydrates and [good] fats are key, as well as knowing what to consume.
You don't want to invalidate your muscle gain based on consuming too little, or too much of the wrong stuff.
