Numbers are confusing. Please help!

In the past I've had good luck with losing weight on a calorie deficit. I use MFP and Fitbit to track and log everything. I'm trying to lose (again) and this time discovered TDEE, BMR, and RMR while researching what I already knew to make sure I remembered it correctly. Now I'm just overwhelmed. To be honest I'm terrible at math and this is just all too confusing. I was under the impression that a 1000 calorie deficit is fine but after using all these calculators, I never really got that number. I mean, I'm very active, I burn 2800-3200 calories most days, but all of these calculators are telling me I shouldn't eat more than 1600-1700 calories a day....that's too low based on what I burn, right? If I were to burn 5000 a day, wouldn't I need to eat 4000? Is that not how it works? I'm so confused! I am female, 25 years old, 5ft9inches, 165 pounds. My RMR is 1736. BMR is 1571. My TDEE is 2337 .....if any of that helps. Also, do my calories need to be the same every single day? How am I supposed to have a deficit every single day but yet I need rest days? Obviously I would just need to eat less in order to keep the same deficit while taking a day off, right?
