Insanity Nutrition Guide - net calories?

KimMc60

The equation in the Insanity Nutrition guide told me I should eat 2000 calories. Does that mean I should net 2000 calories or just eat them and not take the calories burned into account? Before Insanity I'd been netting 1800 but was stuck in a plateau. Now I've been netting 1900 and still feel hungry often, but I know that's common when first starting out (I just finished my first week).
