Well, your first mistake is there

So enough with the snark, please.
2,500 cal/day is well-known as the average male guideline, while 2,000 cal/day is the average female guideline.
None of this changes my original point. Obviously nobody's healthily surviving on 1,200 calories/day.
People generally don’t count calories, certainly not how many percentage per meal they need. There’s also breakfast, snacking, dinner, more snacks etc.
The snark started with you insinuating that somehow a time-tested diet is not possible, because it's different from yours.
