08:48 PM		How many calories per day is this diet on average?
I'd like to gain something like 10 lbs and am not sure if that is possible while on this diet.

that depends on what foods you eat
and on how much you eat
Calories don't mean a thing, because the amount of calories required is different for each person, and differs per day.
The only thing you need to do, is to learn to listen to your body's energy needs.

Every second that your blood sugar, or blood fat level is lower, your body will convert muscle tissue into available eenrgy, so that is the first thing that you need to prevent.
Gaining muscle weight is primarily about preventing muscle loss, and secondly, exercise of course.
So, gaining muscle weight is about making constantly sure to maintain your blood energy levels. You need to carry dried fruits and raw nuts (or bananas, or a bottle filled with fresh juice) with you all the time, wherever you go.

Of course it is. My boyfriend has gained up to 14 lbs muscles on this diet (a few times), until he was less careful about maintaining his blood energy levels, and therefore lost it again (a few times).
If you want it, it is certainly possible. You then just need to take goodc are of your body all the time.

Regarding protein; you can start experimenting with increasing the portions of egg yolks and/or raw fish (fish is very effective), or you can also chose to supplement with liquid free amino acids (ONLY these!).
