Insanity Calories? I think I get too many?

I just got Insanity today and did the formula and it came out to about 2200 calories a day to lose weight the first time I did the calculation. The second time I did it I changed the Exercise Factor and it still came out to about 1900 per day which still seems like a lot... For those of you that have done the program and used the formula, did it end up working out for you or did you have to adjust and go lower, or higher?

I would like to know this also - I worked out i needed approx 2800 kcal, but currently have 1850 (an increase of nearly 1000 kcal) - I struggle to see how eating that many more calories would still allow me to loose weight - I am now training 6 times a week anyway...0

this confused me also, I would do a week and see how you feel and the results you get. The adjust accordingly.
