hello everybody! :)

I have a few questions. I've started doing insanity again cause I need to lose my last 9 lbs (lose fat or gain muscle, I don't care, I need to look fit for job). So, except doing insanity, I have to study hard because finals are coming. I'm trying my best to eat healty food and a lot o proteins, but sometimes I don't have money to buy that amount of healty food and I need to eat not-so-healty food with a lot of fats and carbonhydrates to have energy for studying.. What will happen If I eat "normal" food and still doing insanity?

    If you eat at a net caloric deficit you will lose weight; caloric surplus you will gain weight.

    Strive to get the protein you need to help minimize the loss of lean body mass. Do what you can.

    yup above advice it spot on, and you should look into checking out the recipe forum on here, it can be pretty cheap and easy to eat healthy if you keep it simple. Chicken, eggs, tuna, and cheese are some super easy to work with protein sources that are also pretty darn cheap.
