It's certainly workable. If you're planning on doing it for every single session of metabolic work, you might run into problems though. Factor in the facts that a) you're dieting and b) you're also lifting weights heavily during the week and it could throw you over the threshold of "okay" in terms of stress management.
Typically, when I'm doing any sort of high intensity metabolic work while dieting, I'll consolidate it with my weight training.
For instance, with lower level intensity metabolic stuff, you can easily get away with:
Mon: Weights A
Tues: Metabolic
Wed: Weights B
Thurs: Metabolic
Fri: Weights A
Sat: Metabolic
Sun: Off
Now if you swap the moderate intensity metabolic sessions with high intensity sessions, I'd do something like:
Mon: Weights A/Metabolic
Tues: pre/rehab
Wed: Weights B/Metabolic
Thurs: pre/rehab
Fri: Weights A/Metabolic
Sat: Off
Sun: Off
Here you see the consolidation of high intensity stuff I speak of. You have keep in mind that stress is accumulative, meaning it adds up on top of itself from one session to the next, and that's why the other side of the equation (rest/recovery) is critical. Without the consolidation, you're doing high intensity stuff almost every single day of the week and that will burn many people out fast... if not mentally... physically.
Systemic stress overload has a number of symptoms but it can be commonly seen as achy joints, plateaued or regressed strength and even a slowdown in metabolic rate since stress is tightly tied to our endocrine systems and our endocrine systems are tightly tied to our metabolisms.
So with those two templates above, think of them as a spectrum... one is at one end, the other at the other. You could do many different iterations of templates in between.
Personally, I tend to mix my metabolic work up. I'll have some high intensity stuff in there such as HIIT which I'll consolidate with a weights workout. I'll also have some low intensity stuff like walking/hiking on off days which a) burns calories and b) can help with recovery as it gets blood/nutrients flowing. And I might throw a moderate day or two wherever I feel like fitting it, either on off days. If I throw it on an "on day" it's always after my strength training or in a different session that day all together.
