I'm pretty lost

First off, everyone has a different definition of "healthy eating" so you're going to a get a lot of different answers. Most people just try ot make nutritious choices as often as possible, without denying themselves treats (as long as it fits in their calorie goals). MFP is really that simple - just track your calories, stay at your goal, and eat back your exercise calories.
You can use websites like skinnytaste.com to find lower calories recipes. I'm sure other websites will be suggested.

Second, what is your issue with your calorie goal? Do you think it's too high or too low?

With only a small amount to lose set your budget to no more than 1 lb per week. MFP already factors in a deficit for you from exercise so you theoretically can eat those calories back but the issue for me is usually whether I really burned as many calories as I think I did and did I really only eat what I think I did. I generally just don't eat them back unless I'm really hungry or there's a special day when I might want to indulge a bit.

From looking at your photo I'd suggest getting into some kind of exercise to strengthen your core and build some muscle. Maybe concentrate more on losing body fat% rather than just losing weight.

Hello, I'm new here and I have to admit I know nothing about diet or excersise. Before this website, I have lost 5 pounds in Januray from simply running, eating less, and drinking more water. Now that I see that I can do this and have stuck to it as long as I have I want to do more. I want to eat more healthy meals and not just run for 30 minutes on a treadmill. If you have a website where I can learn all I need to learn before going on this journal, please comment. I've tried to search myself but there are soooo many different websites and I don't know which one to trust.

Also, my calorie intake is supposed to be like 1,400 a day. That can't possibly be right..
Like I said, I'm really new and do not know how to even start all of this. ANY help is greatly appreciated.

Here's a good website:

Fill out the profile, do what it suggests (including eating back exercise calories) for a month then re-evaluate.

Eat what you want, just make sure you get sufficient fats and protein. Assuming you are, what you eat and when you eat is completely up to you.

Here is why you must eat -

Your brain
Your lungs
Your heart
Your liver
Your kidneys
Your pancreas
Your veins
Your skin
Your immune system
Your speech
Your hearing
Your wanting to change the channels on the tv
Your not being able to find the controller
Your crossing the floor to try to figure out how to do it from the screen
Your accusing your wife/husband/partner of hiding the controls
Your walking on the remote in bare feet
Your loud cursing
Your eventually changing the channels on the tv
Anything else I left out

..... this all takes fuel to run. Like a car engine needs petrol, diesel or electricity when it is in motion, 'uman beans (us) need a minimum amount of calories to function. Except we need it all the time, not just when we are hopping around the front room in agony cos we stepped on the sharp edged remote with our little tootsies.

You must burn about 3500cals to lose a lb. A 500cal a day (3500cal a week) difference between calories burned by living and exercise will mean you lose 1lb a week.

MFP calculates this difference for you when you set up your profile. So your calories to lose weight are already worked out for you.

If you exercise, you use up your cals that your body needs to keep the engine running so you have to eat those to keep you in peak condition. So eating your engine ticking over level + your exercise cals burned keeps your body in tip-top condition and makes you fitter too. WIN.

Take beginning measurements because sometimes you see differences there before you see them on the scales.
