My EM2WL Stats Questions

Hello All! I just purchased the EM2WL Starter Kit 1 and I'm very excited to get started! I did all of my calculations and was hoping someone might be kind enough to let me know if they look correct? Can someone PLEASE help me? =)

I'm 5'3" and weight 200 pounds. I'm also soon to be 43 years young. hehe My activity level would be Medium. Starting 60 minutes of boot-camp this Monday, three times per week. Jogging (not running more like wogging as in walk/jog) two times per week for 30 minutes, maybe 60 minutes of hot yoga once per week.

I went to Scooby's site and plugged in my numbers based off the above.
And it spit these numbers out:
Suggested BMR = 1600
Suggested TDEE = 2480
TDEE Cut Value (25% deficit) = 1860 **I decided on 25% deficit instead of 10-15%.**

Here's my confusion. If consuming my TDEE Cut Value of 1860... I'm guessing I should be doing the following?
TDEE Cut = 1860 - BMR = 1600 = 260
Burn 260, No change, eat the same
Burn 260+, Eat the difference
Example: Burn 500, eat 250 back

Aiming for this:
Carbohydrates 40%
Protein 30%
Fat 30%
Fiber 30
Sodium 2500

Building my meals based off this (in a perfect world):
6 small meals
Calories 310
Carbohydrate 31 grams
Protein 23 grams
Fat 10 grams
Fiber daily total 30
Sodium daily total 2500

I know it's a lot of detailed information. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks again!

    um... where did you buy this?

    They now sell the info on a website.

    Thanks for the heads up on not pushing over 20% deficit. And yeah I didn't think $5 bucks was too bad either...

    I'd run those calculations again, if I were you. I weigh the same, am just 1/2" taller, 5 yrs younger, and I burn that much with no official exercise. I have my actual burn data, so not working off of estimates, but I think the estimate you have there is a little low. That's almost exactly my typical TDEE, and there's no way I could be considered to be the medium activity level on those days (lightly active fits me).
