Pepperoni sticks are very processed and high in fat. Some will say that they are fine if they fit into your macros but it would be better for you to stick to lean meats like chicken and turkey. Tuna...

It's all about heart rate. For my low intensity I usually stay around 65-70% of my max heart rate. For you that would be around 133-143 bpm. Any exercise that keeps you in that zone for about 45...

I would up the calories. 1600 is too low for someone that is 185+ lbs. If you start that low its very possible you'll lose a lot of muscle and your progress will stall quickly after a few weeks.

I would say it all depends on the individual and how well you recover after the cardio session. That schedule is very similar to mine where I usually do morning cardio (after a scoop of whey in...
