Hello Sean, thank you so much for this! it’s amazing!

Can I do the schedule all over again to add even more muscle? or would that be not a wise decision?

domenicmarrama I would log you food for the day and see where you currently are. I would then use the P90X nutrition guide to see what it suggests that you eat. Most likely it will be more than what you currently eat. But if you are looking to gain mass then use the Level II or Level III calories as your baseline calorie intake. Have you signed up for me as your coach? I can help ya with this in more detail if needed

Hey Sean,
Im 24 years old and I have a really fast metabolism. I have been healthy all my life. Played soccer competitively for many years as well as running cross country. Sports aside, building muscle has never really been my forte. Mainly because I have never really knew how to approach it for my size. And I have a really hard time keeping it on. I am 5’7″ at 115 lbs and have weighed that much for a few years now. I am starting P90x soon and would like to know what you would suggest I do for nutrition and how do I know what weight is going to be right for me when I have never really done this since highschool fitness class lol. Anywho any help is appreciated. Thanks.

the energy value I calculated from the p90x nutrition guide is 2399 which puts me right between Level 1 and Level II Since there’s such a big difference in the calories/day for the two levels, I’m not sure what to do.
I tried using this http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ , but I’m not sure what I should select for the Exercise Level

thanks

therealone7 Coach Sean It depends how much body fat you are currently at. If you are around or below 10% then I would do 40/40/20 split

Coach Sean therealone7 thanks for the reply
so Ill stick to p90x then
do you have any idea how many calories I would have to eat?

And should I follow the carb/fat/protein ratio for phase 1 (“Fat Shredder”) even though I’m fairly skinny to begin with?

therealone7 You can do the classic and try that out. I think you will great results with it as long as you are eating enough protein and calories
