Everyone in my class has either newks, raisin canes, or subway. So now I'm craving Popeye's and class isn't over until 145. I have roast and spaghetti at home but also frozen chicken fingers how do I get over this deadly craving Lol. Without feeling deprived. Insanity day 2 BTW.

    eat it just don't go crazy. Never try to eliminate foods you enjoy.

    Isn't it defeating the point to have the fried foods and doing insanity?

    Can you just get a small popcorn chicken or a small order of fries, eat 1/2 (or the whole thing, depending on your calorie goal) and satisfy the craving? Sorry. I know lots of people struggle with cravings, so I know it's hard. For me (not saying you should do this) eliminating a lot of foods also eliminated all cravings. Stick with your program and give your body time to adjust.

    Step 1) Eat fried food.
    Step 2) Log fried food.
    Step 3) Go over calorie goal or do some exercise.
    Step 4) ????
    Step 5) Profit!

    I'm guessing I can bake the frozen chicken tenders and buy some yellow rice. But do I eat that before insanity or after?

    I've only eaten m&Ms and grapes today. I ate the m&Ms because I can't take test without them. My own weird thing.

    You don't have to follow the Insanity meal plan. You can eat at a caloric deficit and enjoy whatever food you'd like, including Popeye's. Just don't go overboard. Also, it doesn't "defeat the point" because you are working out for reasons other than creating a calorie deficit - you're training your cardio endurance and getting into healthy exercise habits.

    I'd say eat it after your workout just because working out with a belly full of fried chicken sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, and post-workout you'd have a calorie amount you can give yourself for indulgences.

    I decided on baking chicken tenders and yellow rice since I haven't eaten anything really today and doing my insanity by 430-500
