Hi Luke,
Are you sure that this nutrition plan will be enough for you? Because you do have to be on a calorie deficit but not starving yourself.

Another thing is, if you can help it, eat with in 30 min after your work out, it will help you metabolize the food faster and more efficiently.

As far as working out goes i asked the same question and i got responeses that stated that i need to do weights before cardio and that i need to mix it up. This has helped me a lot.

So for example, in the morning on monday, dont just do running. Do the chest and shoulders first then the running right after. This will stimulate your muscles to burn that fat you are trying to get rid of and will continue to burn through out the running session.

About your food. Are you cooking all this on your own from scratch or is this all your store bought food?
