Goals/what should he aim for

kellicarter11

Hi there I have a friend
5'7
168lbs
18 year old male
He does insanity 6 times a week.
He would like to use this site and to become fitter and healthier.
But we have no idea how to adjust his goals so he knows how many calories to eat. Can you help me? Thanks

Has he just plugged in his info to get the basics?

i agree .. he needs to 1st sign up and put in his information
and either just moderate active or which ever that sounds about right ..

a great thing he can do to figure out his calorie goal is find out his TDEE ..

im sure insanity came with an eating plan .. does it say how much he should be eating (since that is a hard core workout)

18 YO male with a BMI of 26.7.. This is only a few pounds "overweight"; personally, I'd focus (particularly at that age) on getting in the gym and pumping iron. I would really not be that worried about weight loss (or gain) at that level... He needs to build muscle and maybe decrease his fat percentage but 26.7 really is not that bad...

I'm doing INSANITY now too. In the INSANITY nutrition guide, it guides you through figuring out how many daily calories you should consume while on the program. I figured out my number and plugged it into MFP. Good luck!
