Insanity Nutrition Guide Overview
In this program you'll learn about appropriate food choices and the correct balance of nutritional requirements you'll need on a daily basis. This plan will work for you even if you are total beginner and don't know what calorie is (everything is explained in detail). It's designed to power your body trough most intense exercises you will ever have. It focuses on 5 daily meals, none to large or too small. Each meal is about 40% protein, 40% carb, and 20% fat.How The Meal Plan Works
Month one: Your Daily MealsIn the "start eating" part of the guide you'll find 5 different meal lists. Every day you'll choose one meal from each of the five meal lists, totaling 5 daily meals. Each meal list has 10 option to choose between (try not to skip any meals).
Month Two: Eat More
As you progress to the second month of this nutrition program, you'll realize that your body uses up calories considerably faster that it did a month ago. Plus, your "month two" insanity workouts get more difficult and lengthier, so you'll need a lot more fuel. To meet your higher fuel requirements, this plan includes a list of 100-calorie complex carbohydrates.
Daily Caloric Needs
To figure out your daily calorie needs, use this 3 step formula:Step 1: Use the Harris Benedict Equation to calculate your caloric needs (read more on Wikipedia).
For Women: 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
For Man: 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step 2: Take your number from above and multiply by the level of exercise listed on the picture below:
Step 3: The number that you now have will show you your calorie requirements for weight maintenance. In step three you'll modify this number up or down, based on your weight loss or gain goals.
When To Eat
Eat your meals every few hours, for example:Meal 1: breakfast time
Meal 2: mid-morning snack
Meal 3: lunch time
Meal 4: afternoon snack
Meal 5: dinner
Eat 5 meals a day.
Evaluate your calories and measurements every week.
Eat something every few hours.
Drink a lots of water.
Timing of meals is also very important, because it directly affects the performance. For most people, 1 hour before workout is perfect time for small meal (read more on webmd).
