    I'm starting today too (in about an hour!! )

    Good luck with it!

    You can eat up to 1g of protein per 1lb of body weight and still be fine, ur body just disposes of any excesss protein, its nothing like fat/carbs in that respect.

    Good luck! You'll love P90X! I've done 2 rounds and its amazing!
    As far as protein, your body can only absorb 40 g at any one time so try to space it out throughout the day :smile:

    As a man you'lll want to keep your protein to between 35-50 grams every meal. Too much protein in 1 meal and turn to carbs and be stored as fat. So at that end of the day if you wind up 100 grams short don't eat 100 grams and go to bed. You will be shooting yourself in the foot then you won't be able to do Hot Foot.

    Plyo kicks booty...LOL! Stick to it, it will all be worth it. I'm on my 11th week of the lean program but I've switched the Plyo for Cardio a couple of weeks and I was on the floor. I am planning on doing another round I get done with Insanity/chalean Extreme Hybrid that I am starting on 04/04.

    Good luck!!! I am currently in week 4 and just did core synergistics for the first time and it kicked my butt. I love the program and can already see a difference. The hardest part is the eating in my opinion.

    Stick with it and stay the course!!! You will get the results you want.
