LOL, I am 5 feet nothing (153cms tall) and I do weight training 4-5 times a week and cardio on my 'off' days. Like I said, I was setting 1200 as my goal and then deducting exercise.

They range from 60-90 minutes with 35-45 minutes of treadmill after each workout. I haven't calculated my TDEE but I'll do so tonight. Just a side note, 475 of my calories per day are made up of…
