Does anyone know how many calories are burned doing the P90X workouts?

    P90X documentation says to count them as 600 calories burned for each workout. But that will vary greatly depending on your age, weight, and level of fitness. It's worth it to wear a heart rate monitor to get a fairly accurate idea of how much YOU burn.

    I use the heart rate monitor and it ranges from 500+ to 700+ depending on the workout and the effort I put in :)

    Beachbody has a pretty handy tool called the Meal Plan Wizard to help you calculate calories based on the info you feed it, including which BB program you're doing:

    I feel like it's given me pretty good numbers to work with. It's intended to help you select a meal plan, which you have to be a member to do, but anybody can use it to calculate their calories, and then you can track your food on MFP.
