Diet/exercise advice?!

Diet/exercise advice?

first off i am a 18 year old male who is 5-10 and 175lbs... i want to get down to 165 to look a little more toned, got to get rid of the beer belly

well i started my workout last week and i am riding my bike 12-15 mile a day and eating better meals. i have broken my meal in to 5-6, 300-350 calorie meals a day about 3 hours apart. The meals are low sugar, high protein, like fish, chicken, and beef. nothing fried and i no longer drink sugar drinks. i drink 100 ounces of water a day, i just wanted to know if this was a good way to lose ten pounds in one month?

and also i have been stealing my moms weight watchers for some of my meals, are those okay, most have around 300 calories and 20-25 grams of protien and like 2-6 grams of sugar, will those be okay to diet with or do i need to stop eating those? please if anyone can think of anything else to help me reach my goal give me some advise

thanks to everyone who answers

That's really amazing actually...I used to be in pretty much the same shape as you...18, at 180 pounds and preparing to leave for college...So I altered my diet, as you have done, by cutting out sugar drinks such as soda and thinks that weren't beneficial to my body. And working out is good, though, if you want a toned look and want to get ride of a 'beer belly' biking isn't really the best way to cut stomach weight...given you will loose weight by biking that much...just maybe not exactly where you'd prefer. I would suggest if you are specifically targeting your abdominal region to purchase an exercise ball, like the big ones you see at gyms and occasionally on TV. You can procure one for a relatively inexpensive price...then lay on it with your lower back and just do crunches going as far back as you can and as far forward...(Google 'Exercise ball exercises' for more exercises or ask an employee at a local gym for advice on optimizing your results with it...) Anyways, that is what I did mostly...and I biked and played basketball, and lifted weights a lot...so instead of being a 180 pound average looking guy, after about 3 months of that I'm now 175 and have lean cut muscles. I would just say eat healthy, don't cut out any food groups (except for sugar anyways it only gives you temporary energy when you consume it anyways), you don't need the weight watcher meals...I would just, as I did, learn to cook for yourself, learn to cook healthy, for example using olive oil in place of butter, or things like that, just to make your meals better...a lot of my meals were high protein, high carb, low cal...do research on 'good carbohydrates' try to include them in as many meals as you can...they give you invaluable energy and will help you focus and stay awake easier at school and work. If you'd like to discuss what you can do to shed weight further...you can either email me or contact me via AIM (ArcticFable)...I hope this helps and I wish you well in your endeavors.

Also the 5-6 meals is good for keeping your metabolism running at peak capacity and burning the most amount of fat possible in a day, however...I would recommend eat a well balance hearty breakfast as this is your first meal of the day, providing you with most of the energy for the day, especially if you eat small meals for most of the day...and at night, is when I would consume most of your proteins...because when you are sleeping is when your muscles are doing most of the repairing and rebuilding from stressing them by working out...in the morning with breakfast is when you'd want more 'good carbs' for energy to stay with you throughout the day...
