    What do you mean with "I burn 500 calories a day": with exercise?

    You don't mention your height, whether you're male or female and how active you are (in daily life and exercise), which makes a difference in the precise number, but you already burn a lot of calories just being alive.
    (Edit: your profile says female, you probably burn around 2000 calories if you're sedentary, without exercise)

    Have you entered your personal stats and goals in MFP? What's stats/settings did you enter and what calorie goal did you get?

    Exercising for 500 calories a day and eating only 1500 would be very aggressive, not something I would recommend. (But a lot also depends on how accurate your food tracking is and where the calculation of those 500 calories comes from).

    Can you give some more information so we can be more precise in our advice?
