21 Day Fix meal plan for P90X3? Help.

So I did two rounds of 21 Day Fix and really noticed a huge difference (mostly in my first week, then not a lot after), but it was enough to keep me wanting to eat that way and follow the set amounts. Then after 2 rounds of those exercises, I wanted to switch it up a bit and decided to start doing the P90X3 workouts, while eating to the 21 DF meal plan (for the most part).
I'm almost half way through X3, and I'm a little disappointed. I've been finding myself hungrier, which has led me to eating a little bit more each day - generally more protein, usually boiled eggs or beans as they're my go-to snacks. In the past few weeks I finally started Shakeology, but the only way I like taking the Shakeology is with some soy milk, but the 21 DF says soy milk only 3 times a week, which doesn't work with Shakeology every day or 6 days a week... I've been doing it anyways, and just cutting back on my yellows each day. Some days I have no yellow containers, other days I have yellows, all while still having soy milk in my Shakeology.
Is this meal plan okay to follow? Or what am I doing wrong? The past few days I started logging my food on here, but not logging workouts because I don't have a heart rate monitor to tell how much I'm burning... Do I need to eat more still? I'm so confused.
I've also taken a huge loving to Quest bars, I have a couple a week if I'm lucky. Usually on my really busy days where it's very easy to just have on the go as a protein. They're so good!

You are likely burning more calories with the P90X workout then with the 21 day fix workouts and not getting enough calories by following the 21 day fix plan.0
