I am on my 5th day of Insanity (first month/first round) and I am completely crashing today. I'm thinking maybe I need to eat more calories or maybe more sleep or more water... i don't know. But I thought working out was suppose to make you feel somewhat energized!? I want to have energy to go all out on the videos because I actually enjoy pushing myself that hard!

    I would look at your cals but also what you are eating. I tried looking at your diary but you are private so I can't see what your intake is. Insanity is a very demanding program and will drain your energy especially the first week...keep pushing but use the nutrition guide for ideas to fuel your body.

    THANK YOU!
    I noticed I'm not eating hardly enough protein!! So I updated my MFP goals and food diary.

    If you aren't eating at least 1800 + calories, then yes, you are under eating. Use the below tool to figure out how many calories you need and make sure you follow the goal.

    I noticed that doing Insanity, while it made me sore, also gave me WAY more energy. So definitely check your food, and drink LOTS of water. At least, I needed to...

    I am going on my 2nd month.. I have to say the first week wore me out where I would take a nap afterwards.. if your hungry eat and don't over do it.
