Evaluate my plan
 
Ugh! I am so messed up and in a rut. I need someone to evaluate my plan to get the next 20-30 pounds off.

I plan on consuming 1300-1500 on non exercise days.

1500-1800 on exercise days.

Weight training 3 times/week.

Running/cardio 4 times a week.

I eat mostly whole foods and not a ton of meat. I only eat chicken and fish.

I am very busy- I work and I am a student so I really can only fit exercise in about every other day.

Do you guys think I am eating too little or too much for my body weight/height? I had a bad experience in the past with eating at about 1200 calories a day and less, and really don't want to get back to that so I am doing my best to stay above 1300/day.

I really thought I had this down, but I am starting to doubt myself! I would just like someone to take a look at this and see if you think it will be sufficient or I need to change something.

Thanks!

At your current weight, height and age, I would guess you would lose about a pound a week on your current regimen, if not more. Nothing shabby about that.

It looks very solid to me. Good for you on the exercise! (I'll get around to it myself one day.) The only thing I might change is to have one number instead of several...e.g. 1500 cals every day no matter what exercise...but I would only do that to keep things simple for myself. If you don't mind switching things up, then go for it. :)

Thanks guys, for the feedback!

The only reason I want to vary the calories is because I have heard this is good to keep your metabolism going, as well as the fact that I need to keep my net calories at at least 1300.

Hope this works!
