so I'm 20 years old, 5'5" and I weigh 142 pounds..

my question is the calorie intake number on MFP is 1600 but I'm also doing insanity and the number on that is telling me 2,000!! A BIG DIFFERENCE!

which one would you guys recommend? if it was a smaller gap I wouldn't bother asking but this could be the difference between me losing weight and, well, not. :(

my goal weight by the beginning of April is 130lbs

thank you :D

    MFP is telling you 1600 PLUS exercise calories.

    I suspect by the time you add on your insanity calories the 2 numbers will be very similar.
