Question How do people stay btwn 12 -1500 cals/day??

Ok I've been doing this since FEB 16th. And I have no idea how people stay fairly low on calories and stay low on carbs at the same time. Seems everything low calorie is high in carbs. So I'm either too high on cals or too high on carbs, what gives?

#1 I'm just too darn hungry to sustain myself on 1200, I can safely say that. (Mom of 3 boys (ages 1,2 and 3) and workout an hour a day also.)

#2 My fitday says I'm burning above what I take in each and everyday but I'm not losing anymore. (Yes I am being a bit "bad" eating some franken foods, but question still remains, If you take in less than you burn off, you should lose right?)

#3 I think I may just require more food than an avg woman, don't know. But I take in between 1700 and 1800 a day, any less than that and I'm left hungry.

Ok so there you have it, venting a bit here because I'm a little confused and frustruated.
