Use that. P90X is going to need a lot of calories. But around 1800 calories. I would also adjust macro's to 35% carbs, 40% protein and 25% fats0 -
i was doing 50% protein 30%carb 20% fat. is that ok?? and also on the calculator, would 20 pounds be "lose a lot fo weight" or "lose some weight" ??0

Either the last few lbs or some weight. And your macro's are fine.0 -

It could be. 1900 is not that low. .In fact, most of the women I work with eat 1700-2000+. And I can tell you that if you don't eat enough, you will not see the results from p90x. It happened to me while eat 1800 calories. When i bumped it up to 2600 calories, I then started to see the weight loss, fat loss and inches. Fuel the body, burn the fat. So why don't you try 90 days at 1800-1900 and see how things go. You should start to see things within 4-6 weeks.0
