By using the fitness calorie needs calculator on this site,,,it says to maintain your present weight you need 2400 calories a day....if you want to lose weight id subtract 300-500 calories a day ( 500 is one pound per week)
Insanity burns alot of calories...it breaks your body down alot..You need to eat enough t fuel your workouts and repair. If you dont eat enough you wont get the results you want.
You can calculate your own needs by clicking on Get Fit ...then Fitness tools...at the bottom of that page are some links ..one is caloric needs calculator....click that and ..viola...a tool to help you.
I hope you like insanity...good program and you will see great rsults if you fuel yourself and rest.
A recovery drink after every workout will help you repair faster and cut down on soreness ALOT...You can use beachbody version or make your own...the ratio is 4 carbs to 1 protein...the carbs are important to replace glycogen and repair..the protein is carried into the muscle by the carbs (sugar) and helps with building and repair.
Good Luck and DIG DEEPER!!

1700-1800 is around the amount you should be eating to lose weight, based off of your numbers. However, it also depends on what your fitness level was beforehand, how much food you previously consumed daily, and what your goals are. If you don't want to lose any weight, 400-500 calories should be added on to that number.

You need to stick to the 1700-1800 calorie goal, the Insanity workouts will burn the couple hundred extra calories. Plus you will need the fuel to keep your body progressing. You will gain strength and cardiovascular endurance.

You don't want to under feed your body because you can actually go into a state where your body is feeding off of lean muscle which is the exact opposite of what you want to accomplish.

You can do this!
