I understand that quick weight loss isnt always a good thing. Im hoping to at least lose 10 to 15 lbs before we ship out.

That is certainly logical in the sense of a
goal.

Now if you were baby stepping your way to getting in shape my comments would be different, but if you are truly trying to optimize you goals then you are going to have to pretty much scratch your whole
diet. This is not a
diet for optimized
fat loss. A calorie is not a calorie, you want the BEST of nutrients going into you
body to get the most out of your plan.

diet should be.

My normal work outs are done on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I had been walkin at least 30 minutes .. no more than an hour each day at the gym wtih light weight training. My trainer told me to change it around to weights first .. then about 20 minutes on the treadmill. Told me to keep my calorie intake around 350 per meal / mini meal (wants me around 5 or 6 meals/mini meals a day)

The over all plan isn't bad but "light weight training" isn't going to cut it. This doesn't mean you have to do Barbell squats, but you need to be hitting the
exercises you do hard. Also your
cardio sessions should be shorter but of higher intensity. The highly recommend the use of
HIIT for
fat loss.
You have a trainer and a nutritionist which is great and they seem to not be to off, but if talking about optimizing your plans I would personally make some changes. Regardless I think you would see results going at it this way,just saying I don't think they will be as fast as you hope so don't get frustrated as these are healthy ways to lose
fat, just not optimal.
Hope that helps.
