Revving Up Metabolism
by Dr. John Berardi

"I recommend more calories than most do.

That's because there's no such thing as a stagnant metabolic set-point. Instead, metabolism chases intake. So, if you want a bigger metabolism, you need a bigger food intake. And if you're worried about fat gain with this approach, just use outcome-based decision making and adjust energy (calorie) intake every two weeks based on your results. Not much 'damage' can take place in only two weeks. So if you end up boosting your metabolism, you'll be thanking me eternally. And if it turns out you're consuming too much, you can just adjust down."

[Rusty - Fitness Tips]

I like the idea of cycling calories a bit. Eating low carb for 3 weeks alternated with one week at higher calories to "reset" the metabolism. This is the way I teach people how to reach really low body fat levels. Obviously there are tons of great approaches that work.
