Personal Diet Profile and Goals

I thought it would be fun to have everyone who is on a diet or wanting to change their physical lifestyle for the better to share their experiences and their target goals.  I see so many of those cute ticker symbols of people wanting to lose X amount of weight by X amount of time.

Me:
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 135lbs
Exercise Regime: running 5x/week; weight lifting 3x/week
Diet: 6 meals per day, small portions.  Diet consists mostly of chicken breast, brown rice, salad, cereal, oatmeal, vegetables, fruit, yogurt, and cheese.  Once a week, I eat whatever I want (sweets, fats, fast food)

My goal:  To build more muscle and tone, keep blood pressure and cholesterol low
Target Weight:  125-130lbs (hopefully mostly muscle)

Ok....

You need to eat more.   Any diet that limits you to less than 1000 calories a day is dangerous.  You are starving yourself and your metabolism is going to slow down which will make it even harder to lose weight. You are also probably not getting all the nutrients you need.  If you plan on exercising, you are going to need energy to do it. Energy, which is what a calorie is a measure of, comes from food.

It doesn't limit me but my appetite is suppressed and I struggle to eat very much.
