I have been on a 1530 calorie diet while working out. P90X wants me to go to a 2400 calorie diet while doing P90X. My workouts prior to this were averaging 700 -900 calories. I was a little tired. My question is for those of you who were also in the 2400 bracket, did it work. I am afraid I am gonna pack on pounds.

    I've eaten over 3000 calories and still lost weight on P90x. The trick is to eat your base calories plus what you've worked out, not more. You can eat less than that but it's likely to slow down your weight loss and your progress with P90x.

    My first round I ate 1300 cals a day and lost 16kg (I am 174cm).
    This round I will eat around 1700 and just go with this for few weeks and see whats happening and then adjust.
