You can use the following Spreadsheet file to figure all that out:

After that you should use a site like www.fitday.com or www.itrainharder.com to track your diet and make sure you're on track. You can usually find nutrition information somewhere else online if you can't find it there.

I can tell you that 1226 calories is FAR to low. You must cut correctly to lose weight in a manner that your body will react correctly to. I personally intake 3500-4500 calories a day .

I'd get a good Meal Replacement (www.bulknutrition.com or www.dpsnutrition.net) to supplement your diet and possibly replace a meal in the morning or throughout the day. Try to get your calories throughout 6 meals a day.
