Gross vs net cals

I'm not sure, but here's what I am starting to think. It takes abt 1200 to just run the body. If you exercise, then you burn more calories and can afford to eat more. But at minimum, you need to eat the 1200. Someone posted that you should try to eat anywhere in between your 1200 and your calorie goal. If you eat closer to the 1200, and not the changing goal ( change dependent upon your amount of exercise), then you would, as the previous person said, have a bigger deficit. But part of the point would be not to eat over the calorie goal. Does that make sense at all to anyone? Tnx.
