I have a question: my body will look different from eating everything in moderation and reaching my calorie goal than with eating entirely healthy?

    Nope

    your body will look different by losing weight

    your body will look different if you lose weight and lift heavy to retain as much LBM as possible

    your skin, hair and nails may not look great if you lose weight too fast with a drastic calorie cut and don't hit your basic nutritional requirements

    but eating everything in moderation and reaching your calorie goal IS eating healthy?

    I eat 1700calories/day and exercise, but I'm not eating entirely healthy. Just eating what I want in moderation and focusing on hitting my calorie goal for the day. But I was afraid of becoming skinny fat or my body looking different from what it should.

    Yes, you lose weight by eating less food than you were eating. You can eat the same exact foods are long as you are eating less of them. You will want to eat enough protein in order to preserve muscle.
    If you have other goals besides weighing less, you will want to lift weights.

    What do you consider healthy? The meaning of it seems to vary according to the person.

    I think "skinny fat" and your body looking different than you think it should comes down to how and how much you exercise.

    Just like eating "clean", eating "healthy" can have multiple definitions. As long as you are getting enough protein, fats, and micro-nutrients, you are eating healthy. Things like pizza and hamburgers can fit well into dietary goals.

    In my head, eating healthy is just like veggies and fruits, beans and eggs and things like that. I do eat these, but sometimes I eat a slice of pizza or pasta with sauce or cookies and popcorn, but I do fit them into my calorie goal for the day.

    You don't get extra points if you eat more vitamins and minerals than your body needs. As long as you hit your macro and micro goals, you can use any leftover calories anyway you want. There's no difference health wise or 'looks' wise

    My diary is full of moderation, and it's worked out just fine. You will become skinny fat if you lose LBM from lack of adequate protein and eating too few calories. Not from moderation. :)
