Ok, so I went and used scoobys calculator.
I am currently 246.2lbs and wanting to lose weight...hopefully around 1.5lb a week or so if possible.
Scoobs calc says I need 2875 for TDEE...2091 for BMR
with a light workout 3 days a week for about an hour it says to use 2156 cals for cutting.
I looked at my macros and started to first go for a 40/40/20(pro,carb,fat) split a day eating around 3 times a day. (breakfast lunch dinner)
but I got to reading that doing it all by ratio percentage is just kinda lame. So I went even further and made my percentages be close for what I need each day in grams.
I did 1g/lb of body weight for protein
.4g/lb of weight for fats
and the rest just carbs..
this gave me a 45/15/40 split (pro, carb, fat) to meet what people recommend.
If I do this and meet my gram macros each day and the cut cals of 2156, do you think I will see the weight come off like I am hoping? I know I will have to refigure in 5lb loss increments. How does this look??

if you think you can eat that way (i could never do 15% carbs) then try it for 6 weeks, and then re-evaluate after that . if you get the results you want, keep at it!0

So you're only going to get 320 calories per day from carbs? Sounds like the Atkins diet.
I'm no expert, but that ratio sounds out of whack to me.0
