I just have a hard time with all of it.
It all sounds like a foreign language to me. . .
I need help, almost like a sponsor!

I am 22, 175lbs at 5'3" I will say. [ I am under it, but over 5'2" 1/2. . .]
I know my calorie goal a day to lose like, 2lbs a week, is 1255 calories.

. . .But I think there are certain calories that are good, and some that or bad?
And how to I plan whole days meals around this? . . .

How do I know what amount of Fiber I need? Or Carbs? UGH!!
I become so frustrated I could cry.

I just want to be able to plan my days meals.
With as little cooking before dinner as possible!!
 
I think 2 pounds per week is probably a little high.

If you are totally lost as far as meal planning is concerned, you could just do an internet search for something like "1500 calorie meal plan" and you will find a lot of them. Pick some you think you might like.

In the long run, you will want to be able to plan your own meals. For this, the online diet journals are useful, as they allow you to enter your meal plan and they will calculate the calories, the macronutrient, and the micronutrients for you.
 
check out "eater's manifesto" by michael pollan. simple rules to follow and you don't have to count calories. once you've started eating healthier, then you can start counting calories.
 
The easiest way to do it is to eat every 3-4 hours and have a palm size of protein, as many veggies as you want and a fruit.

Simple as that.

For example: I eat every 3 hours

Breakfast will be 1 slice of whole wheat toast with some natural PB and a few slices of turkey or 2 hard boiled eggs and some fruit.
So I get my protein and carbs.
Snack would be some raw almonds and any kind of veggie you like.
Dinner would be a 1/2 breast of roasted turkey or chicken or steak with a sweet potato and more veggies.

I don't go by percentages because I would go CRAZY! All I do is incorporate a little protein a little cards and veggies EVERY time I eat
