My plan ... any good?

Jp83

I was hoping someone would be able to giuide me in the right direction.
My TDEE whilst sedentary is 1700. I eat 1400 cals per day. I'm 5'4 150lb. My exeecise days burn the following:

30 min treadmill (fast) + 30 mins weight training = 550 burned
or, 45 min hill inclined bike (to tone my legs) = 400 burned

I run 4 x a week and bike twice

So I get 300 deficit on food then my exercise on top. I've made a geeky speadsheet minusing the food deficit and exercise from TDEE. This is really motivational to see my calorie goal (70,000) go down rahter than pounds.

Before anyone says about NET BMR, its irrelevant because ingest my BMR in nutritious food daily but everyone is obsessed with NET bmr. I've given my body what it needs!

This sounds mildly similar to what I have planned, so I'd like to hear what people have to say too.

If you've set at 1400 and burn 300, then you are netting 1100. The net is important.

You can use a calculated caloric intake based on activity level and not worry about eating exercise calories back. That would be around 1700.

It isn't irrelevant...but I doubt you'll hear anyone telling you so. So..good luck. I guess.
