Question regarding calories while doing Insanity.

Hello Everyone,

I am starting Insanity tomorrow and I was just wondering if I need to increase my calories. I have been reading that you need to eat more while doing Insanity. Right now MFP has set my calories for 1200 to lose about 1.5 lbs per week. So can I just leave my calories for 1200 or do I need to increase the calories a bit?

Thanks for your help.

    Calculate the formula in the Insanity Book.

    It wanted me to consumer 2130, cals daily. (I'm guessing that included cals burned during the workouts).
    I roughly ate about 1600 - 1900 cals

    I consumed most of the cals burned back because with Insanity you truly do need to eat to have that energy!
