How many calories do you consume daily?

I seem to be lost with the amt of calories I should be eating, My BMR is 1588 and TDEE is 2462, so if you eat TDEE - 20% does that mean I should be eating at least 1900 calories a day? I'm 5'1 and was wondering if anyone eats according to their TDEE?

Thanks for the advice, I am so confused!

    I'm 5'1'' and try to stay between 1000 and 1100 calories a day. When I exercise and have extra calories I try to not use them and use them for a weekends, special occassions, etc. I lost 30 pounds doing this but I also do 30 minutes of step, Herbalife 24 dvds and have a fit bit and try to do 10,000 steps and 10 flights of stairs. I don't get this accomplished every day but try to do it daily.

    Hope this helps

    I would like to try it but I worry about eating too many calories, but I guess that would be easier to live with in the long run
