How do you enter in your workout/calories? How many calories should you eat in a day while doing these exercises?
Start weight:222
Current weight:184
Goal weight:160

    Whatever it says on your HRM, and what is says in the Nutrition guide.

    I create my own exercise. Instead of doing one for each DVD, I just named an exercise "Bring It" and then put in the amount of calories used from what my HRM tells me.

    I believe the p90x nutrition guide put me at 2400 calories a day. I set my goal at 1800 on here to factor in roughly 600 calories burned during workout. So my net is close to 1800 or below while I sometimes eat almost 2400 calories. I try to make sure I never go under 1200 net calories cause sometimes it is just too much eat all those calories back.

    I use Beachbody's Meal Plan Wizard to determine my calories. It's more specific to an individual than the Nutrition Guide (which has only three calorie choices), but much simpler than tracking individual workouts each day.

    Oops. I meant hrm. Going to get one though. Found the sheet that says how many calories I should eat. Had to call husband, stole his p90x stuff :0) thanks for the help. Hope I can shed more weight soon.
