well you said you didn't want to lose weight so i guess maintenance would be your answer.
i know the insanity nutrition guide talks about how much to eat to lose weight, and how much to eat to gain weight, idk if it talks about how much to eat to maintain.
but i think the calculation spits out how much calories you need to eat (excercise already factored in) and then you subtract from that to lose. if you just ate the figure that the calculation arrives at, that should be maintenance.
when i was strict i just eat the number of calories outlined in the guide and did not log exercise. worked very well for me.0 -
if you really are excited about insanity go for it, but i would like to point out that its probably not the best program for your goals.0
