CalorieKing calorie calculator

[polerz]

Hey I've begun my cut recently and I'm using calorieking software to track my diet through my cut. It's a very nice program but theres one thing I'm not too sure of.

Firstly, heres my stats:
Weight: 82kg
Height: 5 ft 11 (~180cm)
Bf%: about 18-24% (who knows?!?)
Age: 20
Workload: I go to UNI (maybe some stairs heh) and I work in an office part time (mostly seated).

Workout routine:
2 days moderate cardio (130bpm heart rate)
1 day rigorous cardio (for fitness purposes)
3 days weight training (pretty intense, to maintain strength)

CalorieKing says that I need 1900 calories a day to lose weight, based on those stats. I think this may be a little too low?

I know as a rough approximation its (body weight (pnds) * 15) - 500 which is about 2200 cals a day.

Also bb.com's calculator says that I burn about 2898 calories a day (under the category dietting athelete). So again, 2200 seems about right for losing weight.

Everything on the calorieking program is pretty accurate as far as exercises and calories burnt goes.

What do you people think?

My diet is as follows (I really cbf typing it out, I exported to a CSV with calorieking and opened it with excel, and this is how it turned out)

Bit whack haha, but I don't really think what I'm eating is relevant to my question!

Thanks

Try eating 2200 calories for a week and see what happens. If you find that you arn't losing weight at the pace you want, then drop your calories to 1900.

Calculators are great and everything, but keep in mind that everyone is different. Trial and error is the best way to find out what works specifically for YOU and your body.
