      I currently weigh about 183-185.. I’m about 5’10.

      As for eating right now, I’ve been kinda using Dr.Eric Serrano’s method of high fat dieting eating red meat, eggs, cashews, almonds and avacodos while cooking everything in butter and olive oil.

      Murph said to eat more, as for calories where would you guys like me to be around? I believe I’ve been around 2300-2600 daily.

      My first question would be what are your goals?
      I know it may be obvious but I don’t want to make any assumptions here.

      I’d say be stronger and put on quality size.

      Lets say the you average 2400 cals/day and you want to gain weight. It is simply eat more than you are burning and you will get bigger, eat a lot more and you will get a lot bigger (not a good thing).
      If you are keeping track of everything, which it looks like you are, just start to carefully increase your daily total in through clean foods. up 100-150 cals/day for a week or two. See how you feel. If nothing happens, and you’re feeling weaker then up it a little more. Any changes should be in moderation.
      Nutrition can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be.

      You need carbs.
      Eat rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit.

      What calories would you want me to give a run for on this program? As well as supplements?

      Aaron,

      We shy away from giving to much nutrition advice for a few reasons:

      1. You must be a nutritionist or dietician to give specific advice, and I am the only one allowed to, as I am the only nutritionist on staff.
      2. People seem to over complicate it.

      With that said, here is a quick set of suggestions:

      get at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight
      if you want to gain weight, start at about 13 calories per pound
      fill in the blanks after the protein with healthy carbs and fat
      more carbs on training day, less on off days

      good choices:

      rice
      sweet potato
      potato
      fruit

      olive oil
      nuts
      nut butter
      avocado

      Watch your waistline, if your abs are less visible, cut a small amount of calories (maybe 100 or so for a week) and see if that works. If it does not, cut a little more.

      If you are not gaining/recovering, add a little more.

      As far as supplements go, the VAST majority of them are 100% useless so we do not suggest many.

      Here is a good starting point once your nutrition is in order (don’t waste money on supps if your diet sucks)

      multi vitamin
      b complex, c
      cal/mag/zinc
      BCAA/ECAA
      Whey protein
      Creatine

      Other than that, I don’t suggest much.
