p90x nutrition guide says my energy amount is 2300 cals..do i eat that or..?

[Josh]

so i calculated the whole body weight times ten thing and all in all it says my energy amount is 2300 calories and my nutrition level is level 1. that says 1800 - 2400 cals. im hearing that i only eat 1800 cals and that the energy amount is just to figure out what level im on? what cals do i eat??

thanks!
