    The easiest way is to train your body to eat more. For starters you want to get in the habit of eating at the same exact times every single day. So create a schedule where you take the food and amount you currently are eating now and break it up in to 4-6 meals a day. After a week or two of doing that add to your last meal another 200 calories. Then go a week or two doing that. Then add another 200 calories to your 2nd to last meal. And so on.

    It's hard to just start a new diet and stick with it (whether it's trying to increase or decrease calories). So the idea is to take what you currently do and slowly modify it over time.

    200 calories isn't that much more food and by itself won't make you grow much, but over the course of a month that's 6000 calories extra you put in to your body. Now that won't all add up to muscle, but supposing you're training hard and aren't at what the maximum of your test production will allow (and at 185lbs at 5'11, you're probably not), you will probably produce some muscle.

    Don't think of this as a sprint, it's a marathon.

    Nice write-up. I will give it a shot and will update in a few weeks, Marathon it is.
