What do my fellow mis/fit/s think of this plan?

My current TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) at 5'8'' and 223lbs is 3383.... so I plan to shave off 1000-1200 a day, mostly through exercise. It feels weird knowing I have to eat MORE because a week and a half ago I was 3 weeks into a 1200 calorie a day diet (And I was biking everyday for like an hour which probably burned an extra 700 calories that I wasn't accounting for so subtract that from the 1200 technically) and well, I was obviously doinitwrong even though I did lose 10 lbs. Problem is I have pretty much gained it all back, because I fucked up my metabolism, but now it's had a recovery period and I've taken the time to educate myself and gather the proper equipment.. I have a bench, weights, barbell, dumbbells and a bicycle. I have the willpower and the drive and all the necessary info, this is just my quick 'system's check' before I initiate my plan tomorrow to get down to 160lbs, which I should hopefully reach by February. Anways...

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) at this point = 3383

Days when I lift: I will ingest 380 less calories and burn 850 calories through exercise (weight lifting for 45 mins = 150 + cardio for 60 mins = 700) for a total of 1233 less calories.. I will eat 2683 calories worth of food on this day.

Daily caloric intake will be = 2150

Days when I don't lift: I will ingest 380 less calories and burn 700 calories through exercise (cardio for 60 mins = 700) for a total of 1080 less calories.. I will eat 2683 calories worth of food on this day.

Daily caloric intake will be= 2303


What do you guys think of this plan? I will introduce HIIT slowly, probably do HIIT every other day, once I get used to going all out. I mean 2 weeks into my routine I will kick things up a notch I just want to get the swing of things first. If there's something I'm missing, please feel free to mention it, thanks!

OP HERE: holy fuck that was long, sorry guys, but any help would be appreciated, I have gained a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time and while I understand it fully I am still a bit nervous about applying it so, any help will be greatly appreciated! Any flaws found in what I outlined in my first post please let me know what I am missing.

I have done the 60 minutes of cycling, actually I was doing four 4.5KM laps around my town (actually timed at 80 mins), it was all on an incline as well, I stopped after I read that what I was doing was AWFUL for my body, the exercise plus the low calorie intake, so I just spent the last week reading up on shit and learning. I have the determination. I used to weigh 160 almost 1.5 years ago, I let my weight get out of hand and I'm sick of it. The weight lifting is theory but other than that, like I said, I have the ability to follow through, I did 3 weeks of dieting and I would have continued if not for my discovery.

My lifting routine is simply going to be 1 exercise per muscle 3 days a weeks (3 X 8-12 ) for the first 2-4 weeks until I get into the routine then I will do muscle groups and split it into days... Mondays = arms, chest, etc...

Im not saying your wrong or anything, but at your current state (5'8, 223lbs) and you burn 3383 calories a day (with exercise i assume), once you incorporate weight training, this will surely increase, you may need to recalculate each week.

All i can suggest is dont let this consume your life, and don't freak out if you mess up, it'll be majorly counter productive, Stress could be your worst enemy.

Also, i say give it a try and see if it works, and if it works in a healthy way, your bodies metabolism will sky rocket if you workout+60 min cardio, just don't over do it or it could be counter productive.

doing 1 body part is a good idea to start with, should post progression pix as well to help motivate your self.

Oh yeah, I'm totally aware of this..

>All i can suggest is dont let this consume your life, and don't freak out if you mess up, it'll be majorly counter productive, Stress could be your worst enemy.
lol, yeah... good advice, just working my way up to this it has been reaaaaaaally stressful... I made spreadsheets and everything... thank fuck I found the program FitDay and downloaded that, it helped a lot in terms of an easy to use progress tracking tool.

>Also, i say give it a try and see if it works, and if it works in a healthy way, your bodies metabolism will sky rocket if you workout+60 min cardio, just don't over do it or it could be counter productive.
Yeah, I will not exceed the 60 min mark because it is bad so I've read, and I might bring down the duration and up the intensity, just right now I'm in the early stages you know.

>doing 1 body part is a good idea to start with, should post progression pix as well to help motivate your self.

I might post pics, I will take some but I'm kind of reluctant, months of yo-yo dieting has left me with MAD stretch marks...

Wait, it was incline ALL the way around the town? Did MC Escher build your town or something?

It's level for a while, I'd say .5KM, then a small hill I go down and a huge hill up, then another small hill and another HUGE one which probably totals 2KM... then it's a slight incline for the rest of the journey until I get back to my point of origin..
