I'm a mesomorph , 208lbs, and started working out/dieting 2 weeks ago when I was 210. So far I lost a pound a week. I workout 6 days a week. I lift and go cardio. I eat 200 grams protein / 200 grams carb . 60 grams of fat. I love this diet. My body still looks the same but it only has been 2 weeks.

My concern is this... is it possible to workout too much than it doesn't go with my goals? I'm trying to lose fat and define. When is a good time to do cardio so it won't hurt my muscle?

    Slightly drop the carbs, it will work since carbs hold 4g of water for each 1g carbs

    There's nothing wrong with the amount of carbs the OP is eating

    You'll know you're working out too much when you can't do your workouts. I do cardio on opposite days from weights (lift Wednesday/Friday/Sunday, cardio Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday). Also don't worry about your somatotype. Two pounds lost is great progress, but you'll likely not see any physical change for a while still.

    Your body will let you know when you need a rest day. Also, a rest day can be active. For example, playing a new sport like tennis, golf, shooting basketball, etc.
