Hello, new here. Quick question...500 calories under TDEE with or without extra calories allotted from exercise, plus other questions.

My Apple Watch is connected to my health app and therefore also MyFitnessPal. My TDEE is 2300, and to hopefully maintain muscle, I’ve decided to try a 500 calorie deficit, putting me at 1800 calories a day. I just did some conditioning at the gym and MFP gave me a an additional 719 calories to compensate. I assume I can fill that 719 calorie void with food that meets my macros in the same ratio as my original 1800 calories right?

Decided on 40/40/20 split (protein/fat/carb). Second question, is this split ideal for strength training and cutting? Just not sure if maybe carbs should take precedence over fat for energy and best potential to keep up w my workouts. Doing 2suns LP 4x a week + 2 day conditioning (HIIT, Treadmill, Barbell Complex, depending on how I’d feel).

My watch typically rounds out between 1100-1200 calories a day 6x days a week, with one full rest day of around 5-600.

Literally open to any suggestion, pointers, insults, tips.
