Follow their program. Sounds like your calorie intake is way low for Insanity. I get 2700 calories based on your stats, and that's being conservative. 1g per pound lean mass of protein, .35g per pound of body weight for fat, fill the rest in with carbs.0

ALL OF THEM! Carbs don't matter for weight loss. When I cut weight, I cut on 300g of carbs, lol. For weight loss CALORIES is what matters, unless your going for a body re-comp for a bodybuilding show.
And as others mentioned, I'd recheck my daily caloric intake. It seems low for daily or every other day Insanity
Here's a little chart I follow for my macros:
Protein - 1g per 1lb. of body-weight = 180g < ---- 1G of protein equals 4 calories
Fats - 0.4 x bodyweight (180lbs) = 72g < ---- 1G of fat equals 9 calories
Carbs - left over calories. <
1G of carbs equals 4 calories
This is generally what most people follow and what MFP goes off of as well. You can lower your fats/protein and up carbs if you want. It all just depends on how YOU feel. But this generally works for everyone.0 -
hey martyqueen53 thanks for your info i will follow accordingly and take it from there . if you cut on 300g then what the hell do you eat on a bulk lol0
