It depends if you use net or deficit to track your intake... if you eat eg. 1,500 calories and burn 500 then your net intake would be 1,000... but if you do deficit then you'd need to know your TDEE (probably somewhere between 2,200-2,800 or something dependant on your height/weight/exercise so then you should try to get a 500 deficit or something.
