fitness help/advice?

I'm broke and find it hard to buy healthy foods, it all just seems so pricey and so when I do buy it, its only enough to last a day or 2. I'm not even sure what I should be eating everyday so I'm probably leaving important stuff out. I also don't know what exercises I should be doing or if I can get fit with no equipment. I just want to be healthy/stronger, any advice? im 5'5, 130 pounds, how much calories should i get per day?

First, your height/weight ratio is fine. It's actually about in the middle of what is considered healthy.

We could all, or most all use toning and cardio, but you really don't need equipment for that. Goggle "body toning for women without equipment".

The food suggestions others have given you are good. Id add legumes, like black beans, etc. Good fiber and iron source. Inexpensive too. Ive got a couple of good meatless (less cost) recipes and there are plenty on the internet.
