    About 1500 is good for month 1. Month 2 you will probably need to eat more.

    Definitely bump up to the calories that they suggest in the nutrition guide. 1200 is way too low with insanity.

    as long as you did the calculation correctly, and used a 6 or 7 as the 'activity multipler' (hope i'm remembering thier terminology correctly), then you should be perfectly fine.

    i just eat the calories that the calculation said to eat and did not log exercise and i did very well.

    it does say in the guide that you might want to up your calories for month two.

    some peeps claim they have to eat less to lose. i think they are generally under estimating how much they are actually eating. if you do eat less then 1400, don't go under 1200.

    as long as you don't eat less then your BMR (the calories your body burns at rest) your probably going to be ok, but the less you eat the more likely you will lose pretty muscle.
