    Just eat more food what you are describing really isn't enough food. You are verging on Under weight. If you eat more food it will give you more energy which will help you work out harder making you fitter and giving you the look you are after.

    I'm in my third week of Insanity- I'm not following the guide as in only eating their recipes, but I AM following it in terms of marco balances & calories. I've had my nutrition balanced in for a while now, the only difference was I lowered my fats a bit (I'm now doing 40%p, 40%c, 20%f)

    Figure out your calorie/macro needs, and as long as you hit those, there's really no need to only eat the foods that they list. They basically do that for people who don't really know how to hit their numbers on their own.

    Some are their recipes are good though, it's fun to experiment with them to switch things up a bit. If you'd like to talk more about it, feel free to friend me :smile:

    I agree with this. Use their diet structure but feel free to use your own foods. Set up a custom goal in MFP that matches the Insanity recommendation. If you can't figure out how to do the math using the Insanity booklet, PM me and I'll help you work out the details.

    Cottage cheese w/ berries, whey protein shake, tuna and crackers, etc. The Insanity booklet has several and searching google should get you more.


    Good luck.

    Set your goal her to maintain your weight. Log your food and log your exercise. Eat enough food that it tells you that you have no calories remaining for the day. It's pretty simple.

    I like wrapping low fat string cheese in turkey & lettuce for a protein snack... or cottage cheese with some almonds or fresh fruit sprinkled in.

    Also, you can try protein shakes if you're having a tough time hitting your numbers. I recommend Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey
