Brief cut diet help

So I've injured my back a bit and wont be going to the gym for at least 2-3 weeks and decided to try and lose some fat during that time.

I've been eating approx 1600-1800cals per day with the intention of having a ~2800-3000+ cal day once per week. Each day I just aim for that amount of calories and 160+ grams of protein. I assume that as long as I'm eating ~500 cals less than maintenance and eating >bodyweight in pounds of protein then it shouldnt really matter so much what my macro ratios are?

- Macro ratios generally approx. 50g fat, 100-150g carbs, 30-60g fat and 160-190g protein.
- 20-40min walking each day
- Calorie calculator estimates maintenance to be around 2100cals/day.

Thoughts? Would I benefit from minimizing carbs or increasing protein at the same calorie intake?
 
Calorie calculators ESTIMATE your daily calorie requirements....

500 calorie ''deficit'' is not required due to the above statment.

Macro balance, well íts going be be minimum (when not training) 1.5g/kg protein, 0.7g/kg fat and rest carbs for the remaining cals. Thermogenic effect of macro's protein>carbs>fat...
