Answer

Carbs. Carbs help muscle recovery. Why is this? Because carbs produce an insulin response (this is a good thing!), which assures amino acids are transported into the muscle cells.

Yes, it’s possible to build muscle on a strict keto diet, but incredibly slowly, compared to a diet that includes a higher intake of carbohydrates. Keto diets may seem appealing, but especially in the sports nutrition realm, it is far from ideal and nutrient deficiencies can occur.
