foods that you can eat on 1200 cal diet

All of them. Just track your intake.

You can eat one piece of cake that is 1200 calories or many healthier choices in foods that will fill you up over the course of a day, IE..Lean Proteins, Veggies, Fruits, Nuts etc...). So yes, you can eat anything, but is it always a wise choice?

You can eat whatever you want! But focus on satiety inducing foods (high fibre, proteins, fats) as suggested above cause you’ll have a bad time if you don’t.

Also, if you’re like me and love eating for volume then stock up on a bunch of low cal veggies like cabbage, spinach, etc and learn how to make them in a way that YOU enjoy. Learning how to work the numbers can honestly makes the nutrition part fun if your perspective is right! (:

I'll add nuance to your question. Foods that are healthy, filling, and can be tweaked / livened up.

1. Celery
2. Cucumbers
3. Carrots (add all 3 together!)
4. Salad

Very low cal; I add a few croutons, then moderate or low cal dressing.

Good luck.
