Too many, no you have enough.
You're exercising, so you need about 2,100. Bare minimum for sedentary Women, 1,500, more like 1,800, add to that around a good 300 for reasonable exercise levels, and even when you get 1,900 you're a little on the low side, and could get a bit more.
So don't worry about the calories, if anything a little more here and there would be beneficial to fuel exercise, and help with any muscle progression and Fat loss.

I'm confused. Are you doing all that cardio in one day or are you choosing one from that list and do that cardio/weight on that particular day? What types of foods are you eating? Calories mean nothing if you're not eating the right kind of food. Read the sticky in Diet and Nutrition section or see a licensed nutritionist for your specific dietary needs.
Sorry for confusion, I'm doing all those classes on those days. I'm not eating processed foods, just fruit, veg, meats and rice/pasta. And am cooking all meals from scratch.Boopster wrote:I'm confused. Are you doing all that cardio in one day or are you choosing one from that list and do that cardio/weight on that particular day?
