Eating at TDEE + Exercise... does it make sense?

Hey yall,

First of all I am not trying to lose weight really quickly as I have hit my goal weight. I would love to lose at least 1-2 more lbs, however I have some assumptions regarding the deficit that I am going to make and not sure if this makes sense.. so let me describe it for you.

​

My TDEE sedentary is around 1580cals, and I run at least 7-10KM (sometimes more) everyday, which burns roughly 300-500 calories (more if I run > 10k). My assumption is, if I eat at around 1600-1700cals everyday, I will still be at a deficit of around 180-200 cals everyday. Does that sound correct?

tl;dr:

1580(sedentary TDEE)+300(running) = 1880

Food = 1700

Deficit: 180

Does this make sense? Or am I misunderstanding the usage of sedentary TDEE?

Thanks!!:)
