Insanity workout- am I eating enough?

Morning everyone, fairly new here and using myfitnesspal to manage calorie intake whilst also embarking on the Insanity programme.
I was moderately fit (a few years of weight training but nothing very focused) when I started, and have made some big changes to lifestyle/food etc. as part of the programme.
Into week three, and for the first time today I didn't feel strong during the workout (still got through it!) and even felt a bit woozy and sick afterwards. A few hours on, post recovery-drink and breakfast, and I'm still feeling not 100%.
I'm wondering if I'm eating enough? I'm going with the myfitnesspal recommendation for weightloss, and adding on my Insanity calories burned (I wear a HR monitor so it's fairly accurate). I'm five eleven, female, about 13st7lbs/85kg with 24% body fat and taking in 1500cals per day, plus whatever I've burned, so usually around 1900 cals total. Is this enough? I'm concious of the fact it'll affect my weightloss (I've only dropped a few lbs so far) if I'm not eating properly.
I'd be grateful for anyone's input who's been through Insanity.
Thanks
