This is what MFP gave me after telling them i'm lightly active, and workout 90 min a day 6 times a week (Weights + Insanity)

I'm 6'2 220.

Is this correct?

    I would change the carbs and protein intake. I would up my protein to about 1gram per lean muscle pound. Then the leftover should be the carbs, especially with weightlifting. Just my humble opinion though.

    The workout goals you set do not affect your calories. MFP is a NEAT calculator, so asking how often you workout is just to set goals for you to meet. The 1800 calories is for your weight loss under lightly active with no exercise. Every time you do an insanity workout, you need to log the calories burned and eat extra calories to account for the burns. I would probably reduce from trying to lose 2 lbs/week to 1 lbs/week given that you are relatively close to your setpoint weight, but the number you have seem ballpark accurate, provided you log all workouts.

    That too. I use a ratio of 40/30/30 carbs/protein/fat, which gives me above 1g per pound of lean body mass. You probably should be eating more protein.
