    No you shouldnt eat everything you want. Ive done P90x and just finished Insanity today. Yes you will burn alot of calories, but its all about calories in vs. calories out. If you want to lean out with p90x create a calorie deficit. If you are already lean and want to bulk with p90x add a small caloric surplus and lift heavy 6-8reps to failure.

    In my opinion, to get the most from a program you must educate yourself about nutrition. Id say its 70% nutrition 30% exercise. Did you read your nutrition guide?

    There is a whole nutrition guide that explains everything you need to know. It should have come with your DVD's.

    I love MFP but I'd follow what the P90X nutrition guide says. MFP has great basic guidelines for those without a nutritionist or nutrition guide. YOu are very lucky to have a plan tailored to the exercise you'll be doing. Good luck!
