Fitness and diet experts and / or necessary! What is the best program of exercise and nutrition?

What is the best diet program / training for me? My background: 25 years old male, 6'2, 180 lbs, mostly in good shape. I cons Matt Furey combat conditioning, eat less than 2000 cal / day and did about 30 push-ups daily. I look and feel fit, but I kind of look nervous. My goals: 1. exercise no more than 30-60 minutes per day. 2. eat well, but on a budget (!) approx. $ 10 per day 3. gain strength, size of arms / torso 4. set a little muscle mass / size without having to consume too many calories 5. avoid using free weights / machines, if possible, as I did not, I'm not crazy or anything anorexic, but I think that eating less calories as possible will lead to a longer life. So I really want a healthy lifestyle and sustainable. IE: I do not consider the consumption of 5000 calories worth of expensive placebo supplements sustainable. What is the best workout program and plan for me? Thank you a million!

Well First of all calories are actually defined as energy. Empty calories are what you need to worry about. (Beer or alcohol, processed foods, sugars, etc.) Eating too few calories on each day may also be bad for you. Especailly if you are active. I suggest you determine your daily caloric needs before you starve. Eating too little can lead to lethargia, atrophy muscle, poor energy levels, depression / mood swings, just for starters. If your strength training for 30-60 minutes per day, it is very important that you consume your daily caloric needs and enough protein / carbs / fat. Otherwise your just wasting your time in the gym. I eat 6-8 meals per day consisting of 3-4 protein shakes that are cheap and full of vitamins and low in calories. I suggest Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard as it is low in calories / fat plus it's cheap and good taste. I weigh about 170 and am currently around 8% body fat. My caloric needs are between 2400-2800 in order for me to maintain or bulk without adding body fat. My consumption is about 250-300g MAX protien per day. Visit www.bodybuilding.com or www.forum.bodybuilding.com and search for daily calorie needs, etc. Play the forums too, you learn a lot of useful knowledge. Here you'll also find great deals on supplements and free information on training. Regarding training, look in the Body for Life program for departures. It will give you a good foundation
