If theres any suggestions on how to tweak this program and diet would be greatly appreciated.

your macros make no sense 250x4=1000 200x4=800 50x9=450
1000+800+450=2250
must have been a typo

your workout needs alittle work, have you read te training stickies? start off with training 101, I would go with a upper/lower/upper/lower.
make sure the pushing/pulling is balanced, and the quad-dominant/ham-dominant is balanced, and do the heavier lifts first, unless you are lagging on a movement. stick to compunds the most, and add a little iso if you need it.

Horrible workout, read the training stickys fast!

Working like that on a 1,350 calorie diet for 3 months... you'll turn into a stick!

Yeah do check out the stickies. Your calories are to low along with your training is to much. That equals a bad combo.
