Your Spark Plan will lay out most of this information. Your plan will provide you with the correct target calories as well as the other goals to monitor based on the goals you have selected.
You can use the trackers to help you monitor how you are doing. 3-5 servings of fruits/veggies is a great place to start in addition to low fat dairy, whole grains and lean meats. Avoid fried foods and sweets like pies, cakes, cookies, candy on a daily basis and save them only for small servings at special occasions.
Be sure to get activity daily and use the fitness and Nutrition Tracker to help you stay focused on your goals.

Ok I need help choosing the right diet. Before I go any further here is some information about myself.
Age: 16 1/2 Current Weight: about 214 pounds Goal Weight: 190 pounds by December 31, 2007. (about 3 pounds a week) Height: 5'7
I read that if you eat too much or too little calories you gain weight and thats the last thing I want to do. I am not sure what amount of calories I should be consuming now.
I also do now know what types of foods and how much of them.
I have stopped eating junk food and only drink diet soft drinks.
How much fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, etc. do I need to have energy and also loose weight.
I will also do exercises but would like to have my "food consumption" plan worked out first.
