My stats are:
34y female
160cm
62.5kgs

I currently consume 1300cals a day and I try to workout 5-6 days a week. I do 1 PT session a week and at the moment I'm doing P90X. I have just decided that 2 days a week I am going to start doing 2 workouts a day.
So what would my calorie intake need to be on these 2 days? I don't want to burn out

    I'd add in around 200-300 cals that day, mainly getting those calories from whole carbs like oats, small banana, or wholegrain rice to prevent you burning out, I'd also have a moderate to high carb meal and creatine the night before to replenish glycogen while you sleep so your not starting the day on empty
