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.

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

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???
