My initial MFP goal was 1200 cals/day. Now I've gone up to 1400-1600, but now I've plateaued :-( Whats your caloric intake since starting Insanity?

    I started at around 1200-1300 Calories, I found out for me personally that this was not enough, i was dropping weight but my energy was getting depleted fast, I changed my calorie intake and got more power foods in my diet, So now in the second month im around 1500-1700 but sometimes drop below depending on the day. After i made the change i really didnt loose any LBS that week but could tell i was getting leaner. The next week was a different story, i dropped 3 LBS in half a week, I do drink alot of water so its not all water weight. I really tried to just listen to my body in workouts and see how my energy was day to day during a workout. A heart rate monitor really helped me keep and eye on it. hope this helps, How far into the program are u?

    Keep it up!!

    This is my second FULL week of Insanity. Technically I started 4 weeks ago, but was off an on the first 2 weeks so I started over on the third week. Plus, I know its rule number one of Insanity but I still don't have a heart rate monitor. I've been using the calisthenics setting of MFP to track my cals burned, which I'm sure its a gross under estimation. I feel my body getting leaner, but I'll try elevated calories for a while and see how my body responds. Hopefully the scale wont shoot up....
