P90X Fest- The Sequel

This blog is intended to serve as both a resource and support through the P90X2 program. As P90X graduates, we've decided to continue to include helpful links, articles and recipes to those who are working through the P90X programs. Although we will mostly focus on the new program, we will keep all links and articles pertaining to P90X on our blog. As always, we welcome comments, questions and any other inspiring words to others who might be reading this and seeking encouragement themselves.

Determining How Much You Should Eat

1. Calculate Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

body weight____________ x 10 = __________ (RMR)

2. Calculate Daily Activity Burn (DAB) based on current level of activity outside of P90X2.

(for sedentary) RMR _____________ x 0.10 = ______________DAB
(for moderately active) RMR ____________x 0.20 = _________________DAB
(for very active) RMR_________________x 0.30 = __________________DAB

3. Enter calories burned from your Daily Exercise (DE).

varies, but average figure for P90X2 is 650 cal/day. _______________DE

4. Enter Caloric Surplus (CS) or Caloric Deficit (CD).

Number of calories you'd like to add or subtract in order to gain or lose weight (500 cal/day = approx. 1 lb/week) _______________________CS/CD

Determine your Daily Caloric Target (DCT)

____________RMR + _____________DAB + _____________DE +/- _______________CS/CD= ______________________DCT.

Level A= 1800-2399 cal/day

Level B= 2400-2999 cal/day

Level C= 3000+ cal/day
