Hey Folks,
I just started Insanity today. Not gonna lie the Fit Test kicked my butt. The main reason im doing Insanity is to get back in shape for my summer job. I'll be leading a one month backountry backpacking trip in the middle of the ADK's so I want to be in top shape. I figure Insanity would be a great way to build my cardio for pulling my butt around with a 35lb pack over the High Peaks. Right now I dont have too many questions on the workouts but many questions about the nutrtion plan that comes with Insanity. According to the booklet provided with Insanity I should consume 2,600 calories to lose weight; MFP says 1,950. So how many calories should I consume? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I've read that some of the Insanity workouts burn up to 1000 calories. If that is the case for you I would follow the guidelines in the Insanity booklet. 1950 would not be sustainable.0
