depends on what you're eating.

Things I've been eating:

I've been cutting out junk-food as much as possible. I haven't been eating candy bars or sugary foods. Mostly I eat what's around the house, which isn't much of a variety, so I eat canned Tuna, Peanut butter and banana sandwiches, milk and oatmeal bars, strawberry/rasberry yogurt, and other stuff.

I could go get some other kind of foods, if necessary.

Also, I don't know if this is important or not, but up until the 8th grade(age 13), I was very overweight(180 lbs). Then I lost weight until I was 125 lbs. Mostly through starvation at first, then I started eating more. Then as I entered my 10th grade year of high school, I gained back up to 160 lbs and stayed at that weight until 11th grade. And over the past summer I lost down to 145, and that's where I am now.

Mostly, I just need a recommendation on what/how I should be eating. The amount of calories I should intake (for fat loss), and how much/long I should exercise.

Actually, if you were overweight before then you need to adjus your intake as well as the foods you are eating. 1700 still seems low but its not that bad if you are prone to gaining weight. The better you eat the better results you will have.
