Leg/butt exercises with resistance bands.
The gym at my apartment complex has one of those multi-purpose cable machines, some kettlebells, and some dumbbells. I can't use the cable machine for my legs because it's mostly pulling/kicking motions and I have injured hips.

Exercising after overeating.
Do any of you exercise after overeating? I overate by a few hundred calories and don't know if I should workout, I'm afraid it would make me feel sick. I'm thinking of eating a little under my calorie goal for the next few days to even it out. Opinions?

What should my calorie goal be?
My BMR is around 1300 but I plan on running 4-5 times a week so my TDEE is around 2000 calories. Should I eat around 1500 calories or 1200 then eat back half of my exercise calories?

Fake vegetarian meat vs protein shakes.
Should I replace faux meat with protein shakes? I eat faux meat at least once a day. Would it be better to have two protein shakes a day compared to eating so much fake meat? Does it make a difference?

Eat dinner early or late?
I usually eat lunch around 12 and dinner around 6, however, when I work from 5 or 6 until 11pm, I'm not sure if I should eat dinner around 4 (before leaving for work) or when I get home around 11:15pm. Opinions? I'm currently around 138lbs and aiming to reach 125.
