its would be kind of in between because even if you saty under that amount of calories what about fat calories? fat calories are alot harder and take longer to burn that calories.

No two people are alike, so what works for someone else will probably not work for you, and vice-versa. You need to determine which foods your body doesn't metabolize quickly and which it does. And you probably already have an idea just based on experience. There are some times you've eaten a lot and showed no weight gain 2 days later, and other times you can eat ONE particular food and gain 3 pounds a couple of days later. But first you'll need to eat something like canned corn along with your usual meals. That will help you figure out your digestive timeline (how long it takes to get from point A to point B). You know what I'm talking about. You have some canned corn tonight, it "shows up" the day after tomorrow morning, great, you now know you have about a 30 hour digestive cycle. Now, weigh yourself. Then intentionally eat certain foods that you like that are similar types -- carb-intense, fiber-rich, high protein-and-fats (Atkins type), etc. And that's it. Nothing else, for the next day. Check in at that 30 hour mark and see what the effect was. Then try a different category of foods. Again, weigh before and after. Soon you'll get a good sense for which foods your body metabolizes easily and which it does not. And realize that sometimes they are "catalysts". A single food may encourage your body to retain fat from all foods you ate. For me it's breads. I eat one bagel, I gain 3 pounds, no matter what else or how much else I eat. 3 pounds. EVERY TIME. Meanwhile I can eat a rack of ribs and other fatty foods -- yeah, I'll gain 4 pounds that night, but 2 days later, I've LOST 1 or 2 pounds! And that's not by dieting afterwards either, just eating normally. It just "flows through me". And those are the foods you want to identify. Then you can eat all you want of those foods and enjoy your life. You only get one turn at it, and it's over before you know it. Why waste your life trying to live forever? It's not gonna happen! Besides, we're all going end up dying in the hospital one day, and you're going to feel like a damn fool dying from nothing.

Calories are important to maintain alertness, muscle mass, brain activity and other processes. I would check a BMI calculator to see where you stand in terms of your overal weight and health risks.
There are other options for people who are short on cash to help you to eat more healthily.
Food banks can help top you up so that you can least get some more variety.
Churches usually operate some type of food program to help those who may be struggling financially.
Many community programs exist, such as community gardens where you can grow your own fruits and vegetables.
You can also start some of these programs in your community and help others who might also need a hand from time to time.
If you have children, these are also good options to ensure a child has a good start to life.
Premade meals are generally a bad idea, the cholesterol, salt and fats will kill you over time.
If you're a student speak to your school or college, who might have some additional resources.
If you are employed check out the social services agencies who can assist you.
If your finances are a problem try credit counseling and a debt management program to free up some of your cash.
Try and refigure your budget and take advantage of other freebies in your community and use that money for better choices in food.

Can you lose weight with that sort of diet? Possibly, but it will be much more difficult, and you won't feel very good. Fruits and vegetables are ABSOLUTELY essential for good health because they give us vital nutrients, lots of fiber, and are low in fat and cholesterol. That's why we're encouraged to eat more fruits and veggies than meat and dairy. Did you know that the average vegetarian will live 9 years longer than the average meat eater?
I lost weight by eating almost anything I wanted to - but I cut out red meat and cut down on lots of sugar. I also did some light strength training twice a week to build the muscle necessary to burn body fat. In the end, it didn't feel like I was on a diet at all, I didn't have to count calories and I felt GREAT. It's amazing what cutting down on high-fat, hormone filled beef will do for one's body. Plus, I lost 30 lbs.
You don't have to go vegetarian, but eating meat and potatoes everyday won't help you reach your goals either.

actually yes, you can reason I say this is because when I went off to boot camp, I was a little overweight, with all the training and exercise we did, I actually ate a ton more, but lost alot of weight, even if you eat the same you eat now plus combine that with hardcore exercise, you will lose

Try to keep it balanced. But don't think there is anything you can't eat; you just have to watch the portion size. Good luck & thanks for a good question!
