Greenteafirefly has given you some good advice/information.

You are at a healthy bmi. Instead of focusing on your weight, focus on healthy habits for yourself. You do need to eat a minimum of 1800 calories. It is necessary for your body! Your body is growing and developing and needs the nutrients and energy from those calories in order for it to function properly and to grow and develop properly.

It is not safe or healthy for you to do what you wrote as a plan. Please take a look at these articles:

A Teen's Guide to Nutrition & Healthy Eating
A Teen's Guide to Fitness & Exercise
A Teen's Guide to Weight and Body Confidence

If you have more questions, please let me know.

the minimum amount of calories you should be eating is 1,800. I think doing 20-30+ minutes of cardio a few times a week in order to maintain a healthy lifestlye is a good idea. You seem like your at a healthy BMI & weight--maybe add some strength training (2-3 times a week) if you simply want to "tone up".

remember--sparkteens is a healthy lifestyle change, not a diet!
