HELP!!! How many calories should i eat?

Starting P90x today and wondering how many calories i should eat? In the guide book i fall right between the calorie cutoffs of either 1800 or 2400. I feel like 2400 is a bit high but i dont want to burn myself out. Any suggestions? I am 5'6 about 160lbs 23yrs old. I use to always eat about 1200-1500 to lose weight and i couldnt find an "approximate" number of calories burned in a workout to figure the math myself.

Thanks for your help!!!! :)

    Your BMR is 1499. Your TDEE with exercise 3 times a week would be 2061. You really don't have a lot to lose, but a deficit of 10% would be about 1855 per day.
