I've recently lost 30lbs on a meal replacement diet and I'm happy with the results, however I still have around 14lbs to lose (I'm 158lbs and 5 ft 4in) but i'd like to do it the sensible way, healthy clean eating and plenty of exercise. I have Insanity that I'm starting on Monday and I'm hitting the gym today to start lifting heavy weights. My plan is to lift 4 times a week. I've been reading on here that 1200 calories is too low, so I've done some research and worked out that I should eat between 1901 and 2218 calories with a ratio of 40, 40, 20. Does this seem right to you guys? Any comments would greatly appreciated :)

    Yes, sounds about right. You need so much calories, especially if you do insane workout like Insanity. Good luck! ^^

    Just need to find what works for you. If I had over 2000 a day I'd gain but that's jut me. Play about with it until you find a number that works for you :)
