I checked the beachbody website to determine how many calories I should be eating. It has a couple of options as to what our goal is, and for "stay at same weight, but tone up", which is my goal, it says I should be eating 2100 calories, and for "lose a lot if weight", it says I should eat 1570 calories. I'm 5'6.5, 138-139 pounds and these numbers seem a little high! Anyone who can help me out here?

    Definitely follow the nutrition guide that came with the program. These numbers are not high at all because your metabolism will blow the ROOF with Insanity, burning fat all day long and you'll need the fuel to keep up. You really need to eat according to your program, if you eat less you may find that you don't lose weight at all or you're starving all day. I've done Insanity personally and stuck to around 1600 calories with awesome results!

    Feel free to friend me for help or if you have any questions!
