Should I be under 1200 calories?

Out of curiosity I just did the TDEE calculator above ( fitnessfrog) and I feel like eating 1600 after the -500 is a lot of calories for me to be eating a day. I am currently eating between 1200-1400 a day, usually at 1200. I work out 2-4 times a week. Not lifting, just cardio and zumba... MAYBE I am wrong but, I wouldnt feel right eating 1600! Lol.
The thing is that if you cut your cal too low, then your body lowers it's bmr as a measure to avoid having your orgins starting to shut down. You really can cause lasting damage if you cut your cal too low. I should probably up mine a little but I do have a splurge day here and there to help balance it a little and I'm starting to eat back some of my workout cal.0 -
i was under and went down to 900 cals and burned off 400 per time..my weight loss came to a halt. you should never be under 1200 per day. if your eating the much and working out 40-60 min a day you HAVE to loose weight there's no way you wouldn't..:)0
