    IMO:

    you just need to eat more. simple.
    800-1000 cals/day is never going to be enough if your working out. hell it aint enough to survive, unless you weight around 70lbs. :p, and literally lie in bed all day.

    strength and cardio go hand in hand, all the time. ;)

    Jack3d is okay...in that is has a few extra goodies in it...but i dont think, for me, it makes any difference. A good meal, as chrisdavey said above, about 1.5-2 hours before the workout does me far more benifit. Infact, i just finished my pre-workout meal! 2 tins of tuna(LOL), and a big salad.

    I find a banana and a small glass of orange juice 15 minutes before i go for a run gives me great stamina

    Did I cover it all?

    One you didn't cover is simply increasing your calories. At 800-1000 cal per day you're going to be burning some muscle.

    You don't have to overthink it for now. Just make sure you hit the numbers that MFP is giving you. If anything, bump your protein percentage up to 30 or 40%.
