Insanity calories too much?

underthecherrytree

Hey there! I am starting Insanity tomorrow and was calculating my calories by the Insanity chart. According to them, I should be eating 2900 calories which to me seems absolutely insane. I have a hard enough time eating 1800 calories, let alone 2900. By doing the Insanity calculation, it had me take off 500 calories a day for weight loss which gave me my number. So wouldn't I only be losing a lb a week? Do I really have to eat that much? I physically don't think I can.... TIA

I think its up to you but i would follow their calculations as many people who do not eat enough do not lose any weight, my husband has been doing it five weeks he doesn't count calories like I do he has looked at meal guides and just has about 5 small meals a day from the insanity recipes and has done really good so far! I am starting it monday as well so good luck!
