    I researched, it is not organic and some products contain gluten.

    For argument sake lets say your lean mass is 130lb. That might be an overestimate, but I don't want to seem rude. I would suggest a target range between 80 - 130g to start. See how that works, and adjust. The comment about P90 being largely aerobic is true, and low carbs combined with intense exercise is not easy for many. Again, not intending to be rude, but I suspect that the P90 plan you are looking at assumes the person is somewhat athletic.

    To be honest, at this point the deficit is the key. The exercise is great and is going to help achieve many things, but you face a long battle. You might want to fight that keener urge to go all out. What exercise you choose is not going to make much difference in the big picture, so find things you can stick to and fit your lifestyle. It will all come together with time, practice and some reading.

    Here is a calculator that might help. I am not a staunch supporter of the IIFYM principle, but the calculator makes things easy for many.

    Good luck

    ETA: People need to stop saying that nuts/nut butters and beans are good sources of protein ... They are sources of protein, yes, but gram for gram, nuts are more of a fat source, and gram for gram, beans are more of a carbohydrate source ...

    Yes, they are super fattening and plus I can't handle nut butter.

    Just because something has a higher content of fat per gram does not mean it is "super fattening". You don't get fat by eating fats, especially not healthy fats like nuts. You get fat by over consuming calories.

    Nut butter has high content of fat and not so high protein.

    I get the majority of mine from greek yogurt, chicken, eggs, and cheese. I snack on a lot of nuts throughout the day as well.

    Protein powder is an easy way to add an extra 20-25 grams in a shake, smoothie etc.

    You were as stated before provided a myth regarding protein powders.

    As for nuts and nut butters, yes they are high in fat, but its a healthy fat, like avocados are fat, but a healthy fat.
    Egg, eat the WHOLE egg - there is no reason unless you have a medical issue that would prohibit you from eating it, then don't.

    And also as stated before, you do not get fat from eating fat. You eat too much and do not move your body, is how you get fat!

    Ok, so I am going to get on p90x nutrition and do some exercises. Phase 1 consists of adjusting daily protein to 50%..

    It says 50%...My daily calorie intake is 1500, I put the numbers in and that's what it showed,188g.

    ???

    Nesquick has lots of sugar combined with a cup of 1% milk(12 more grams) is equivalent to 19 grams of sugar, if only one spoon of powder is used...it's hard to get protein without going over somewhere else.

    Just NO nut butters, they are nasty in my opinion.
