How did you determine your target caloric intake value? I recently graduated and had a moment of self-realization as to how poor my diet was the last semester off campus and without a meal plan. I'm determined to do something about it, but health and fitness have never been my strong suit.

Use a calorie calculator such as http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm or http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ and then adjust based on if you want to gain or lose weight.
