Player.cs erroring out for Roguelike tutorial in Unity v5.4

SO I am trying to work along with the roguelike tutorial using 5.4v of Unity. I have worked all the way through to 4.01 Adding UI & Level transitions. When i went to text the game to see if the new code worked i realized the player character doesn't seem to work I get 3 errors with the third error happening every frame,

1st - NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/Player.cs:21) Line 21 being - Calories = GameManager.instance.playerCalories;

2nd - NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.OnDisable () (at Assets/Scripts/Player.cs:30) Line 35 being - GameManager.instance.playerCalories = Calories;

3rd - NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Player.cs:35) Line 35 being - if (!GameManager.instance.playersTurn)

The solution may be obvious to most of you but I am a noob, so I guess if this error just makes you laugh at me maybe there are other tutorials you could point me in the direction of that would help me flesh out my understanding of how C# works with Unity. either way thank you all for whatever time you waste on this with me.
