In the morning, did 10 minutes on the elliptical, 10-15 minutes light weight lifting, 10 minutes elliptical. I usually do weight lifting on Saturdays & Wednesdays for 30 minutes or more. This was just a short workout. And I would do cardio on Mondays & Tuesdays for 20-40 minutes.
Answers:
That's about 1500 calories, give or take a couple hundred. Your meal choices are great and your exercise routine is adequate. You don't need to lose weight, but to answer your question, you'd need to burn about 500 extra calories (or negate 500 calories from your diet) each day for a week. This will give you a calorie deficit of 3500, which is approximately one pound.
To calculate the calories in this we would need to know the weight of each item.
For some of your height my slimming magazine recommends a weight between 118-130lb.
As you are already underweight you will find it difficult to lose more weight.
