    OHHHH...I misunderstood

    I am not sure about logging the cals from P90...I am sure the folks on the P90 threads have some input for you

    I think a lot of people are entering a custom number for each exercise that they're getting from their HRM. I'm just using the 1800 cals from the formula and not adding in exercise cals. that's where the 600 on the last step came from (I think).

    I heard that each workout should burn up to 600 calories, but not sure...

    Very interesting question. I'm in week 11 and I can punch in my calories eaten but not the P90X workout. I believe you may have to customize it.

    probably true as an average, but there have been a few females (me) that are burning 400-500 on most workouts.

    I actually can burn anywhere from 475( KenpoX) to 775(Plyometrics) depending on what workout I'm doing... Everyone is different, and it also depends on how hard you work out... But it's probably safe to assume you're burning at least 500 calories per workout... Hope it helps a little!

    im burning anywhere from 600 to 1100ca a day. now that is just one workout. the days i have doubles, i have 600 in the morning and in the evening im getting 600 to 1100. just depends on the day and what work out it is. if i do cardio in the morning i burn 650 and in the evening if i do kenpo i can be at 1100 or more. just depends. but the main question is how come the workout programs arent already in the listed programs. has so i guess you all are manually entering them. so i have put in most all the workouts and i change the cal for the day and the workout.

    Manually entering them is the only way that I've found you'll be accurate... I invested in a good HRM just for that purpose, because I was worried I'd be really off and would be over-compensating in the diet and nutrition aspect of the program. How long have you been doing P90X?

    I just throw in 600 a day and around 270 for X-Stretch. But you are right, everyone is going to be way different based on a whole bunch of factors.

    I had a related question - the target calories for the day seems to be driven by your weight loss goals, but for P90X there are other factors beyond simply weight loss goals that should be driving your total calories per day target. Any way to manually change this number??

    I also use a HRM now, but the guidelines recommend that you burn about 600 cals per workout. You have to manually add in the exercises, but you can use things like high impact aerobics for Plyo, kickboxing for Kenpo, and under cardio you can enter in strength training.

    Join in on the P90X thread here if you want!

    Yep, you can manually change your numbers here at MFP. Go up to home, then goals and you can change your carb/ fat/ protein ratios, calories, etc. HTH!!
