The point I was trying to make is trying to do any significant amount of cardiovascular exercise while eating <1500 calories per day is not a good idea IMO. It's a recipe for fatigue and/or failure not to mention possibly messing up your metabolism. I would bump the calories up on exercise days by at least what you're burning during the exercise.
