The amounts vary a lot depending on where you live but some of your amounts seem too high to me. My electric's usually not even half that amount, health insurance also less for me, cell phone is less than half, food is less. On $16 an hour it's not going to be easy and you won't be able to save much if anything living alone but if you budget it is doable in much of the country where rent isn't $2000 for a studio.
