Am I right?

My BMR is 1685 now I multiply that by 1.2 and get 2022. 2022 is what I would need to keep the same weight. So I thought if I cut the 2022 by 350 calories would bring me down to 1650 calories to eat daily, that's a deficit of 350. Now I add exercise of 350 calories burned in exercise which brings it down to 1300, making my deficit 700 for the day. Is this correct?

    Just use MFP. It does the calculations for you and creates a 250 calorie/day deficit for a 0.5 lb/week loss, a 500 calorie/day deficit for a 1 lb/week loss, etc. Also, there is always much debate whether or not to eat all of your exercise calories back. Some people do, some people don't. Unfortunately, most of us have to figure out what works for our own bodies.
