Diet and workouts: A girls best friend!

Workouts will be following this routine:

Ill be going to the gym MWF, beginning with workout A on Monday (today! hooray! but I forgot to write down my beginning lifts. Must remember a note book next time) and alternating from there.
On T/TH I have roller derby at night. I figure 2 hours of skating in a circle at a fast pace should be fine for my cardio exercies for the week, leaving the weekend as rest days. Well, rest for now. Im sure once the snow is gone bike rides will become a regular outing for the weekend.

Calorie Intake: 1600. Yes, its on the lower side. Im aiming around 10Xbodyweight for daily calories. A BMR calculator put my BMR rate at 1521 a day, 1800 to maintain, 1300 to loose one pound a week (hell no). So I figure 1600 should work out fairly well. Im looking to do this in a healthy long term way, not a fast change.

As for diet breakdown, Im aiming for a 40p/40c/30f breakdown (I hope I put those in the right order). Why more carbs than fat? BECAUSE I LOVE BREAD DAMN IT. If you put an entire loaf of freshly baked sourdough bread in front of me, it will take all of my power not to gobble it down. Protien is going to be the hardest part, as we dont usually keep meat in the house. Although I have fell in love with protien shakes for my morning breakfast, but Im going to need more than that to get me where I want for daily intake. Ill be following what I eat on The Daily Plate and posting what I eat here along with my workouts, multiple times a week. Hooray!

Goddamn this is a lot to write.
