If you starve yourself, then your metabolic rate will go into starvation mode. When you then stop dieting like that, you'll put the weight straight back on as your body prepares for the next famine.
Also, more muscle burns more energy. SO I'd basically have breakfast, lunch, dinner. Don't eat junk food, don't eat stuff that is fatty, just have homemade meals. Eat brown rice and pasta, and avoid processed wheats like white bread (and some brown ones which are just white bread made brown) eat lean meat for protein, vegetables vegetables vegetables.
Also learn to cook. You'd surprised at how great food tastes that you've made from scratch, and it's relaxing to do.
Then, just do excercise, running etc to burn energy, and do some light weights to build muscle. At 14 you are endangering your skeleton which is still growing if you lift stuff that is too heavy so be carefull. Then take up a sport that you like![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Basically if you are going to excercise, then you need to eat. If you eat the recommended calories a day over 3 meals, and excercise , drink water, then you'll end up being the weight you want, and you'll end up staying that way as well, instead of crash dieting which will just mean your body puts on weight when you stop. Also remember that muscle is heavier than fat, so it's best to measure weight loss.
And I went out with someone who'd done the no eating thing, and it had basically permanently damaged her metabolism.
