Alright, so I'm a little confused. I ate a 260 calorie breakfast, then I burned off 510 calories at the gym with cardio, and did 20 minutes of strength training. so I was at -350 calories. Then I had another 260 calorie meal, and I'm at -90 calories. And I've got hockey in a few hours. So does that mean I have no calories in my body at the moment? And a 90 calorie defecit?
Oh, I don't know if this helps, but i'm 18, 5'4, and 145 lbs and have a high activity level (hockey 6 times a week and gym inbetween) and I'm trying to lose 25 lbs
(I know, I know, I should be eating way more calories, I was told I should be having 2500 cuz of my activity level to start with)

You need CARBS for energy if you are energenic and actively participating in sports. A calory is the unit of energy used to oxidize your food. So the more active, the more calories your body burns. Maybe your eating the wrong calories! Carbs are for stamina. Fat, well it's just fat--some fat is good. Protein is for building muscle. If your athletic, you most likely have muscle--muscle is heavier than fat. If you have low body fat, then you can't lose weight, there's nothing to lose! You don't want to lose muscle. You can become inactive, your muscle will turn into fat, and then you can go on a low cal diet to lose that. Stay muscular and in shape. The weight is good for you, and you probably look good at this weight. Anyway, how can you throw a descent hip-check when you only weigh 120 pounds?? 8-)

Well, you will always have calories in your body as long as you are alive! What happens in this case is that the body converts glycogen in the blood and the fat reserves (yes, they are there) and muscle (yes, if needed) into energy.
As long as you feel energetic and have no other problems with your health, you can eat less and be fine, esp. since you are trying to lose weight. Best of luck.
