I wouldn't be surprised at all if I was between 500-1500 calories during the day, based on the kind of food I get at home and how much I can fit in my desk at work.
I went through the same thing recently. I wasn't quite as bad but close; circa 1500 calories a day. Which isn't good for someone who is training hard 3 days a week, drumming 2 times a week and generally busy as hell.
I always found with gaining muscle eating loads of beans and pasta is the way to go. It's summer time again and I'm going to start gaining that muscle mass back again. I don't really get what the obsession with chicken is...
Home-made deep fried chicken, sure. Throw it in there for the extra fat every once in awhile but chicken at 11am everyday?? That's a bit much....
I know carbs don't build muscle. It's just quick energy to sustain your work out. Fat is needed, along with a lot of protein to convert into muscle. I've used my method for ages and it's worked. I'm at 11% body fat.

AKA quite literally starving.
So... what should I measure for next few months? Will be interesting to see the changes on $57/month.

Time to start counting those calories!

Carbohdydrates don't build muscle. And deep fried chicken is junk food.
