Actually, it's recommended that teens do between 30 and 60 minutes 3-5 days a week. And any intense cardio should burn at least 1000 calories. And, nobody should eat 1200 calories. It's not enough for you to get all you need. Remember, we are still growing kids. We need calories to grow. You are doing great.

burning 1000 cals a day is unsafe fpr a kid ur age because kids under 2 arnet supposed to do over 30 mins of hard cardio at a time. plus u could eat 1500 cals alone and sttill lose weight, i used to burn about 400 cals a day with 1500-1700 cals and lose 2-4 lbs each week

If you're definitely burning 1000 calories a day you can eat A LOT more than 1200-1600 calories a day!
