When someone who's never lifted weights before, or hasn't lifted weights in a long time, starts a resistance training program, they almost always see very rapid gains in strength without much of a corresponding gain in muscular size. This is because the body very quickly becomes more efficient at telling the muscle to contract.
This would benefit on two levels: first, adequate attention would be paid to fat loss while strengthening the midsection at the same time and second, you would have to spend lesser time on exercising overall.
The only way to induce muscle growth is to inflict damage on the muscle. This damage is cause micro-trauma. This micro-trauma is actually an injury, and the body's response to this injury is to make the muscle better able to handle the stress the next time it occurs. It does this by increasing the size of the muscle.
To gain lean muscle, you would consume the calories prescribed in the "weight gain" section of the table. These must be healthy foods unless you want to gain fat. I recommend eating 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, per day. This may seem difficult, but if you eat 6 meals a day, with 30 grams of protein in every meal (which isn't hard), that is 180 grams right there. Depending on your goals, your carbohydrate intake would vary greatly. If you want to build muscle, you would eat a lot of carbs every day. You should fill up on the carbs. They will give you energy for your next workout, and are important in building muscle. If you want to lose fat, though, I would only eat carbs before and immediately after my workout. This is to give you energy for your workout, and to refill your glycogen stores (fuel used by the body that is broken down into glucose, a sugar). Eating carbs post-workout also increases your insulin sensitivity. Insulin is a very powerful chemical in fat loss. I could write a whole article on insulin, so I won't elaborate too much. Trust me when I say insulin timing is incredibly important in fat loss.
That doesn't mean that this is the only way to gain size, but it seems to be the method that works best for the most amount of people. Once your beginner gains have faded, it's up to use to use your familiarity with your body to figure out what works best for your personal size and strength goals. Good luck and get bigger!
