For the record, I'm on Insanity, which recommends over 3000 calories at times..

Well above? Everything I've read says males my age net 1600 to avoid starvation.

bump before I really get into my meal plan.

That's a totally different situation, as I would be hungry again a few hours later. I'm talking about eating low calories from healthy foods through out the day, so much that I'd be full for the day.

I took a One-a-Day Men's, then I've snacked on carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, a fruit cup, a banana, among other stuff

What is excessive? 101%? 300%? 500%?

Thanks again

So even though my diary says I'll lose 30 lbs 5 weeks from now if my diet is like this every day, it's wrong?

I'll look for some protein shakes and stuff tomorrow. Thanks everyone, you're quite literally life-savers! lol

Thanks to everyone for the support and help. This is what my diary was today: Breakfast Calories Carbs Fat Protein Quaker - Honey Graham Oh's, 1 cup 147 31 3 1 Lunch Natures Own - 100% Whole Wheat Bread, 2 slice (26g/.9oz) 100 20 2 8 Sunmaid Raisins - Mini-Snacks, 1 box 45 11 0 0 Rold Gold® - Classic Stick Pretzels, 26.5…

Just out of curiosity, if I hadn't asked these questions, and had just continued to consume 1200 while burning 650, what would have happened? Would the weight loss just stop working? Or are we talking dangerous implications?

I am male, but as you can see, I have no idea what the heck I'm doing. I've never counted calories before. I kind of just jumped right into Insanity, and decided a few days in that I was going to go full force with nutrition as well as Insanity. I got 1200 from the MyFitnessPal iPhone app. I logged all my activity, and…

I'd like to, but I don't get how I'm supposed to without overdoing sugars and other bad values. I average about 400 calories per meal because I drink 8 cups of water per day. I'd have to over-eat. What should I eat???

Wonderful, thank you!

Thanks for the response. But if I log 30 minutes of Circuit training, it's only 435 calories burned, less than half of what Insanity advertises.
