am I going in the right direction to lose weight?

[lincoln81]

k guys i've done a bunch of reading, i think i am on the right direction now I am 5'10", 220lbs.
I work out 4-5 days a week, chest/bicepts, shoulders, triceps, legs, back/abs.
I get up at 4:30am, hit the gym by 5am, 30 minutes of cardio on treadmill then do a work out then bike for 10 minutes, hit the showers, come home and eat.. Should I eat breakfast before I go or after I am done my work out?

Most important thing is tracking calories and macros, you haven't mentioned them.

according to the calculator
you need 3037 Calories/day to maintain your weight
you need 2537 Calories/day to lose 1 lb per week
you need 2037 Calories/day to lose 2 lb per week
I will figure out the calories and macros. I had it all done but I lost the sheet, give me a few

Daily if I use Turkey I am consuming 1752 calories/ 61.7 grams of fat / 92.04 grams of carbs and 206.41 grams of protein
if I use Beef I am consuming 1994 calories/ 79.64 grams of fat / 92.04 grams of carbs and 224.90 grams of protein

At 220lbs dont go below 1,900 calories per day. Besides that everything your doing is just fine , you actually have a solid plan thats why there isnt more commenting on this thread, just keep your calories over 1,900 but under 2,200.
