Hi all, I'm going to be starting insanity on Monday and have today been looking through my meal and nutrition guide - it says that my maintenance caloric need is 3200. My current weight is 255. This seems like a lot have I done this right? Thanks for your help x :happy:

    Since you are 255, that could be your maintenance calories. And based on your weight, you can aim for 2 lbs per week. So eat 2200 calories for a month to see what you lose. If you average 2 lbs per week, your true TDEE is 3200 which will inevitably decrease as you lose weight. But I know women who are 5' 120 lbs and they cut at 1800 during insanity which is the lowest recommended calories for Insanity.

    Also, set your macro's to around 40/40/20 c/p/f
