Thanks for your input! How many grams of carbs would you suggest per day? I have heard everything from 15g to 150g, so I am not sure. Does this include fiber as well? I have reading more about fiber, and since I am planning on consuming more than the recommended amount (20g for women.. I am eating about 35-40g) I also have to increase my water intake quiet a bit. As far as adding protein, maybe some nuts would be good?

I will definitely look into that book.. I was just talking about balancing carbs and proteins with my DH. I always have that problem.. I seem to eat tons of protein at one meal (such as chicken breast and beans) and lots of carbs (including fiber) in another (such as dry cereal). It is a bad habit I really need to stop. Thanks for telling me about that!
