Its fine to exercise that much, you just need to make sure you are properly nurishing your body. And taking days off. Get a proper balance of meats, fruits, vegies, carbs, and dairy. Lots of water through out the day, probably about 6 liters with all the exercise you get. You need to be consuming about 2000-3000 calories a day while your working out this much. Cut back your eating and water intake by about half on weeks when you aren't working out so much though

Did you know that simply changing the temperature of the water you drink can speed up your metabolism and burn more calories? Drink hot water!
Did you know that foods like bran cereal are more dense and will make you more full because your body cannot digest fiber?
Did you know that certain foods like rice work very well with liquids to expand in your stomach making you more satisfied?
Did you know that if you cut 3 tablespoons of butter per day from your diet you could drop 1 pound every 12 days just for not eating butter? Let's hope you don't actually eat 3 tablespoons of butter every day though!!!!
More Weight Loss Tips
Fat Loss versus Muscle Loss
To lose body fat you must eat fewer calories than your body burns off, so EAT LESS -- but you must NOT starve yourself, otherwise you will lose more muscle than fat!
Start eating 5-6 meals per day (space them out to about one every 3 hours). You are eating more often, but not necessarily more.
Increase your protein intake. Without protein your body cannot build new muscle. Protein also helps to increase your metabolism - which burns calories.
Increase you water intake. A good formula for this is to multiply your bodyweight by .66 to get the required number of ounces per day.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
