the variety is the problem for me. Also, with my busy schedule (I work in film) I don't sometimes have time to cook full blown meals.

So, working on trying to meet this goal.. not doing too great so far. 2400 is really hard to do when you're not eating a bunch of carbs and junk food. I seem to be mowing through the fat faster than I'd like. I still have over a 1000 calories to go for today. What are some foods that have high calorie count and high…

Cool beans. I just got my terminology confuzzled. Thanks!

It's the formula Insanity gives you to figure out how many calories you should be eating to lose weight. 2400 was the number I ended up with. I've adjusted my macronutrient ratios so they are a bit more manageable. 45/25/30 I'm doing Insanity (I've done it before and lost 60 lbs. It's just been a while so I'm starting from…

I wound up going to chili's instead and getting one of their lighter choices. I did splurge on a few texas cheese fries, but I think I should be good.. time for pure cardio and cardio abs in about 2 hrs.

Is there a way to manually input these values into MFP? Also, your saying my daily goal should be somewhere in the 2000-2400 range, that's WITH doing insanity.

I picked sedentary, because other than insanity.. my only excercise is just walking from place to place. I know they are just estimates, but I'd at like to at least be in the ball park. This stuff is expensive to maintain.

This is becoming alot more of a job than I thought it would be. Here I was thinking I was doing better. I've got to feed 3 people, and all of this healthy stuff is like 3x as expensive as the non healthy versions of it. I don't get how "fresh" veggies cost MORE, since they don't have to do anything to them. I've got to…

Man, this trying to stay healthy gets expensive especially when you have to buy for 3.

so if i am correct... I should be intaking 3000 calories a day with Insanity. to get a 500 calorie deficit. Does that sound right?

So I'd need about 200g of protein. I don't see any way to get that without some whey protein.

I've already gone over what MFP says I should have for sugar intake... all I have eaten is fruit.. and veggies.. today and some peanut butter..

Thanks guys. I literally just started so I'm still trying to see exactly what's going to work. It's pretty difficult to hit 2000+ calories if your not eating junk. That's the reasoning for the high snacking.. because my other meals haven't been very high calorie. My ultimate goal is to either lose weight and tone up (goal…
