    Based solely on the info you provided, I would say def eat more calories. Inasanity is no joke and you will not be able to keep up the energy levels to complete it if you do not eat more. Search the groups section for Beachbody, Insanity and P90x. There are a bunch of us that have done them and would be happy to offer support.

    Errr.. I am not at the Insanity level yet .. I have done a couple of the P90X workouts that nearly killed me .. But I have the Shaun T (same guy) Hip Hop Abs and it is really fun .. easy to do and good work outs for days when you aren't feeling INSANE ! lol ..
    I would say def eat more .. especially Proteins.
    Have fun !

    You DEFINITELY need more calories because your body is going to run out of nutrients to burn at a certain point and your body will go into starvation mode which will slow down your metabolism. I did Insanity very strictly for all 60 days, and only lost about a 1/2 inch. I didn't see hardly ANY results which was very disturbing! My husband did it with me and didn't see many results either. You think you will at least lose one dress size. Anyway, maybe/hopefully your experience will be different! However, I did gain a wealth of endurance and stamina. Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you!

    I am semi-following the eating plan and had an intake of over 1500 calories. I tried following it to the tee, but I needed more calories (I am over 200 lbs.). I got dizzy and nauseated like 3 times yesterday, so I ate more and will continue eating more except on the one rest day. Only if it's greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, a protein shake, or a handful of almonds, please eat, so you don't get sick and suffer from burn out. I ate a bowl of bran cereal with raisins, bananas, and almond milk for the extra calories. It tasted SO good and I felt better instantly!
