In Basal Metabolic Rate: My BMR is 1282 Do I still need to eat 1200 calories dail

I need help understanding.. Okay I just checked my BMR and it tells me that my estimated BMR is: 1,282 calories/day. So my body would burn 1282 just to maintain my body. Do I still need to eat 1200 calories? Or am I one of them ones that can do less? Keep in mind that I am only 4'11 weighing 152.4.
