I'm a professional dancer and we struggle a lot with our bodies.
My workout plan normally includes a 30-50min run every morning, with fridays off. And then dancing from 6pm to 11pm!
My rest day of dancing is sunday.. On this day I always have a family lunch at a local chinese. I aim for broccoli, red bell pepper and grilled chicken with no salt and just soy sauce; then I always go grab some chao min and maybe a crepe. It's my cheat day!
During the week I stick to a 1200kcal diet maximum, a lot of fruit, veggies and protein. On the days I have harder training I like to make a whole grain bread with scrambled eggs and lettuce. Do you think it is a good choice?
Oh and I also eat about 25g of dark chocolate everyday..

Overall what do you think? I would really like some opinions or advices :)

Thank you!

    Please eat some more! 1200 is not enough with such a active lifestyle, youll eventually stall in your weightloss and not be able to loose more. Oh and a cheat day like that will not do much to prevent weightloss, itll probably just help you keep you sane if your able to control it to just one day :)

    Also you have very little to loose so aim for only 0.5 pounds a week for a healthy weight loss :)

    Thanks for your advices so far.
    I can control myself because I don't feel ok eating pasta during the days I train at night.. It makes me feel funny and not comfortable..
    But yeah, I know I have a pretty nice weight but unfortunately I got to meet some standards of a dance company. I also take whey protein, l-carnitine and cla every day. My goal is 49kg max but still keeping a healthy and muscular figure

    I don't understand what the point of your post is then. You ask people for their opinions and then when they offer them, you say "thanks but no thanks... this is working just fine"?
