    The more you can eat while losing weight the better. Try to start at 1600 like recommended and tweak as you pleateau. It's easier to cut calories when you are eating at a higher amount to adjust for your metabolism. 1200 calories doesn't leave any breathing room to cut calories and that can lead to you needing to reverse diet which is a long process,

    it depends entirely on your height, current weight, and activity level.
