P90x Lean nutrition help!

amalvarez4

I have just finished day 3 of p90x lean! I love the program so far even though it is intense and I have to modify some of the exercises, but I love that I can feel it in my whole body. My question is, how many calories should I consume while doing this program? (I do not have the nutrition guide) I know 1200 isn't gonna cut it but when I googled it I found this whole equation thing for it and it seemed way out of the ballpark! I am currently 200 lbs at 5'7". Any advice would be awesome especially if you have done the program! Thanks

You should be around 1600-1700 range. Possibly even more. You going to have to see and find out. There are is no magical number. Those calculators are just guesses anyway.

I just aim for whatever MFP tells me to. This will tell you roughly how many calories you burn doing P90X. http://p90xcalories.com/

Its working for me. I am not following their diet, just making sure there is more calories going out than going in. For your height and weight, 1200 is not enough. I do 1200 if I dont exercise at all, and I am 5'1 and 134 lbs. On the days I do P90X I take in about 1400, and maybe 100 or so more if I do a run or walk with my dog.
