I heard that everything, dieting, how many calories to consume, ect.. Depends on your body type and how active you are. I am moderately active and I weight 247 lbs and I'm 6'3. How many calories should I be consuming? What would be a good dieting plan for me to do without losing energy or starving myself or anything like that? I want to start off with a moderately active diet and eventually work into a full active work out and have an full active diet. I've always done the whole don't eat sweets and junk food but is there others out there that are more helpful to my body? I am doing MMA and I want to be able to drop down to a healthy 220. Any help would be appreciated!!

Its nothing to do with your 'body type', its more to do with your body mass index and your aims as far as weight loss is concerned.
Go to one of the websites like fitday.com which will find your BMI for you and tell you how much you need to eat to lose weight. But as far as body type, we all have the same type but are just at different weights.
Best diet plan would be to eat 3 or 6 meals a day but to count every calorie. Make sure when you check fitday and it gives you a calorie estimate that you stick to it. Separate these calories out however you want during the day but stick to them or eat less then them and you will lose weight. Its as simple as that in theory.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (yes they do still have calories in them) drink as much plain water as you need (no calories in tap or bottled plain water) and eat complex carbs (brown rice, wholegrain pasta, multigrain bread- n/b, brown bread is not the same as multigrain bread- it needs to have grains in it) and eat plenty of lean protein: chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and low fat dairy. Make sure you count every calorie, even the odd sweet which has been offered to you from a friend/child/shop, it all makes an impact.
Exercise well and drink plenty (of water) when you exercise, eat lean protein and complex carbs when your done but don't forget to count it.
Keep a log book of everything you eat- keep it with you so when you get home you can see exactly what you ate- its amazing just how many people forget exactly what they ate to the tune of hundreds of calories, this has an effect: you wont lose any weight unless you can create a calorie deficit.

Ok well I have a little bit of flubber here and there and I want to loose that, and I was wondering if its possible to change body types without surgery?? Like i have a normal body type but I was a thin body type.

body types? now your really confusing me! From what I read you consider thin, normal (and maybe fat?) as different body types so are askin for advice best suited to the body type you have?
Your over complicating things! Basic fact, to lose weight and become slimmer, you need to have fewer calories coming in then going out, so move around more and eat less. Food- and not eating as much matters more then exercise in terms of weight loss.
Its not about changing your body type- your body will still work just the same as normal, but if you cut back on the calories your body will just look slimmer, you wont suddently have a new set of rules once you get to that slimmer weight, (same rules just tapered to maintain rather then lose weight, you still eat a lower amount, you still exercise as much but you just focus on staying the same rather then what to cut out next from your diet.)
