How much should I be consuming/netting in a day? (not too long)

Hey again. I'm posting again! (you ladies are so helpful).

I have recently (last 5 months) been dieting and exercising to lose weight. I have loss enough to feel great and now that we have started TTC, I am wondering how many calories I should be netting and if I should slow down my activity level to ensure a healthier pregnancy. Currently I go to the gym every other day (treadmill intervals and light strength training). On the other days I go on the stationary bike for a bit. I also cook, clean, and run errands all day (walking; don't need a car in NYC). I also have an active job; I'm a nanny. 

I net around 1000 calories a day give or take. I eat between 1700-2000 depending on the day. My diet consists of lean meats, nuts, low fat dairy, veggies, fruits, whole grains, and egg whites. I have the occasional dark chocolate s'more (homemade) or other chocolaty goody (also homemade).

 Please ladies I need your help!

Stay active.  When you do concieve the doctor will tell you to stay active just accomadate your growing stomach.  Generally the things you do before you get pregnant you can do while pregnant.  When you do get pregnant you only need an additional 300 calories for the baby.

Your net calories is way too low just in general. That will catch up to you at some point. Definitely eat more, regardless of TTC or not.
