I just started P90X this week and I am enjoying it so far. I started at 6’2" and 210 and I am hoping to get down to 180. Based on some information I read online, I am trying to take in only 1200-1400 calories a day. I was talking to a guy at work and he said that the 1200-1400 is far too low if I am working out for 1 hour to 1.5 hours a night. Essentially, I have been netting about 700 or 800 calories if I take my total intake less my workout burn. Is that too low? Everyone is different. See if it works, you should drop only a few pounds a week (I think). I need a lot less calories a day now that I am old to maintain the weight I want. When I was younger, it didn’t matter how much I ate. Your body will let you know what you need. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pittspeed-fitness-nutrition-thread-update/180728)._
