New, and curious about exercise calories

twistedmonkey22

Hello!

I just started here on Thursday so I'm new I started because I was curious just how many calories I'm actually eating every day. I eat pretty darn healthy for the most part, and I work out a lot during the week. I go to the gym three times a week and do a half hour of weight lifting, and then a half hour on an elliptical machine. Also, one night a week I play indoor soccer, and sometimes an ultimate frisbee game. I've been tired a lot this semester (my junior year in college) and I can't tell if it's from what I'm eating or stress (I don't think it's stress honestly). I sleep about 7-8 hours a night, so I don't think it's that.
I've been doing a lot of reading about how many calories I should be taking in every day. I already know I have a high metabolism, so I get hungry just about every few hours. I tend to have many "micro meals" a day instead of 3. My newest question is how to find out if I'm "starving:" myself, by means of just not getting in necessary calories/fat/carbs or if I should be eating more. I'm just trying to find a balance and not sure where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Here's a breakdown of my typical "workout" day
