Starting diet.. Looking for advice/critique

[Scottyscott]

I am 28 years old 5'10 245lbs high body fat. I let myself go after college and I am nowhere near in shape anymore. My goal is to eventually get back down to 190lbs and maybe 12% bf.

Using the harris benedict forumula I calculated my maintence calories to be around 3100. I intend to take start by taking in 2200-2300 per day to begin and gauge my weight loss from there dropping calories as needed. My macros will be approx 250-300 grams protein (approx 1200 cals) 60 grams of fat (500-600 cals) and 100-120 grams of carbohydrate (approx 400 cals). I am an endomorph and I do know from past experience my body seems to respond to weightloss better when eating fairly low carbohydrates. I am not going to list all the meals and foods I'll be eating because i will be hitting my macros as I mentioned regardless. I will have meals every 3.5-4 hrs.

I intend to begin by doing the tred mill 3-5 days a week for 30mins. I will also be lifting weights 3-4 days per week. I am trying to ease back into this, hopefully 1-2 months into this I will be lifting 5 days per week.

I am just looking for some feedback, hopefully I am a fairly solid plan here but I welcome any advice.

Thanks

Dedicate yourself man and you can do anything. Lifting 4-5 times a week, 30-60 mins cardio + great diet= a great body. If you have any questions on diet or anything just ask. Especially diet, that's your main concern.
