Insanity Diet

Hi all ,

Just want to clear something up before I start insanity routine. In the nutritional breakdown of the diet plan it says to take a scoop of protein with a meal. The brand I'm using is 100% gold standard which has 120 calories per serving, and I'm wondering are those calories included in that nutritional breakdown.

Thanks
G. Marty

    You need to figure out /your own/ nutritional needs, based on your weight, height, age, sex and activity level, and your goal weight. The number MFP calculates is a bit low, but good enough as a starting point.

    Hey thanks,

    Iv all that sorted that's why I'm asking that question as I'm trying to stay under 2000 cals a day, but if those 120 cals are not included it's putn over.

    120 cals is 120 cals whether it's from protein, fat, carbs or alcohol, and should be entered into your diary if you use it. If that isn't an answer to your question, I don't think I understand what you are asking...

    Think I'm just complicating things, it properly included in the diary

    Thanks

    Don't worry too much about the food, just eat healthy. The focus is to finish the program, isn't going to be easy.

    If you are following the diet in the book and it calls for the protein then it should be included. I would input it and see if the macros for each meal work out to be about the same as the meals in the included Insanity meal plan. I am starting Insanity in a little over 2 weeks and have started looking at those meals and making sure I am getting ready to follow the plan. I will probably start following the diet the week before (I am doing weight training workouts now so calories should be good) so I am ready. Good luck!
