Confused? BMR is higher than calories given here?

So it says my BMR is 1586, but MFP gives me 1480....I thought you were supposed to eat above your BMR? really confused here.

I eat between 1500-1700 depending. I've done diets where i eat only 1200 and it works, but unfortunetly you cant live your life like that. I eat 20% below my TDEE generally and feel great!

is that 1500-1700 net or you eat that amount Because I tend to find it really hard to eat back exercise calories, and I end up eating between 1200-1400 calories in general, not net

1500-1700 total, not net. if i work out i might only be eating 1200net
