After reading several mass eating programs, I’ve decided to go with Berardi’s. The only problem is I don’t have all the resources yet to completely do it yet. At 5’9" 135 lbs and 8% body fat, I’d say a mass eating program would most likely be a good idea for me. I already have a healthy diet, it’s just that I know realize I havne’t been getting enough calories to grow. This is my idea so far as to how i’ll go about the diet, I just don’t know what to do for the low carb/high fat parts of each day.
Breakfast:Optimum Power cereal-1 cup
Skim milk in ceral-1 cup
4-6 egg whites
Grapes
Snack:High fat part i need help with
Lunch:Grilled chicken breast
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Apple
1 cup skim milk
Post-Workout:1 cup skim milk
Banana
1/2 cup blueberries
or strawberries
1 scoop Optimum Nutrition
whey powder to make shake
Snack:High fat part I need help with
Dinner:1 cup tuna
4 slices whole wheat bread
for tuna
broccoli
grapes
snack:The last high fat part i need help with
Of course I need this all to come out to around 3300 calories each day so any suggestions as to what I can add on, and obviously what I need to go out and buy for the high fat/low carb part is appreciated. Thanks

Some suggestions:
Chicken and cheese
Cheese and chicken
Turkey and cheese
Cheese and turkey
Beef and cheese
…
OK, OK, I could go on all day, but I’m sure you’ve realised by now that a) it ain’t easy, and b) I have little imagination.
Seriously though, I think people tend to go for protein, added oils (flaxseed, omegas and the such) with nuts and veggies. Berardi says that it’s OK to eat some veggies in a P+F meal cos they’re low-cal and mostly fibre. You could try peanut buttered chicken breast. I just made that up, but I think I might actually try it myself!
And you are completely right, with your body stats, what you need is to eat loads of good food and move some weights around.
Good luck!

PS: Make sure you take a picture of yourself today, then another one every couple of weeks so you can post them here I think it motivates everyone (not only you) to see these progress pics.
