Where is my net supposed to be?

So I'm looking at my log and my net is under 1000 since I've exercised and burned about 500 calories today. I'm at losing 1 1/2 a week and I'm supposed to eat 1500 a day but I'm unsure what is a good number for my net amount

    From the info you provided, 1500 should be your net intake.

    If you are following MFP you are suppose to eat the baseline calories it suggests, then when you log your exercise you will be given more calories you are then suppose to eat those as well. A deficit has already been factored into your baseline calories given to you by MFP
