Let your weight dict: Your weight is good guide. If your weight is normal and stable then keep doing what you normally do. Most people will lose weight on 1200 calories. But if you want to do some regular exercise(which you should do as it is good for your health), then you may need to eat a bit more unless you are overweight.
