290 going down to 230 by december.

[ThaDagger]

To start off I am very dissapointed that I let myself get to where I am. I use to be in good shape then due to a string of very bad luck I let myself go. I was 190 after bootcamp in 1999 now at a 100 pound heavier its time for a BIG change. You can view my starting pic on my bodyspace I posted the nasty fat pics for motivation for myself. I will update this when I can. Here is what I eat I would love some pointers.

76 grams of fat
27 sat fat
120.5 carbs "from peas,green beans and rasin bran"
2082 calories
265.5 protein

Where do I need to be on this stuff?

I also have started riding a bike outdoors 10 miles in the morning and 10 miles in the evening is this to much or to little?

Too few calories for starters. I am 6'3" like you and 293lbs now and I am eating 2900-3200 calories a day and loosing about 1lb a day now (not water weight) since I've been eating more. I lost less weight when I was eating 2000 calories. Then again, I am doing a keto diet, it depends where your calories come from.

i would shoot to try and even those numbers out. With my diet, I try to have most of my meals around the same macros, etc. They never work out exactly, but they are close. Also, I agree with the above post that your calories are too low...good luck with your weight loss...

Good!
But remember...it's not all about the weight. It is the Body fat percentage.
