  • No I sit at a desk all day, but the Insanity booklet says to put it down as very active on the basis of 6 days exercise. SO my TDEE is to high???

  • Thanks all I use a HRM when doing Insanity. My TDEE has been calculated using an online calculator based upon an active lifestyle (insanity 6 days a week). There is no way I consume 2500 calories per day, I consume less. I find it difficult understanding what foods are good to eat. Is potato, pasta, rice, bread?? Things I…

  • I don't eat back at the moment. I hate the idea of logging food too. I don't understand why I'm not losing weight.

If I had a BMR like you I would be happy. The concept of eating…

  • another question I should ask then is 1500 calories enough for me? Insanity Nutrition guide estimates that in a sedentary state my body needs 2344 calories per day. If I exercise in line with Insanity i.e. 6 days a week my calorie intake should be 2869 calories per day (this takes into account a deficit of 500 calories per…
