This all depends on your size, age gender & goals. I am 5'3", 28 year old female, MFP had me at 1200 calories (if I put myself as sedentary, which I'm not) to lose 1lb per week. Depending on how hard you push yourself you can burn between 500 & 800 calories in an insanity work out. If I only ate 1200 calories I totally felt it in my work outs - not enough energy at all to work. Some people will say to eat all your exercise calories but I wanted an extra deficit so I usually ate back half of my burn and it made me feel better in my work outs.
200 of whole foods rather than adding 200 in a cookie or French fries makes a huge difference too!

I lasted 5 mins intò my first video and collapsed into a ball crying the first time out.
But, the next session was 7 mins, then 12, then I was up doing 45 mins within a month.
Do as much as you can until it breaks you, and then come back to break it.

I just did my first max work out. Had to go very slowly and take breaks. Also got really bad cramps while doing it.
So exhausted.0 -
