Having trouble with finding foods higher in carbs, but lower in fats and sugars.

in Food and Nutrition
I am making an effort to learn how to eat better. I am looking to eat less bad fats, and less bad carbs (sugar). I don't eat breads, eat pasta rarely, don't drink sugared drinks like sodas, or juices, and I rarely eat sweats. I need some advice on where I can learn more about eating foods that are higher in good carbs, but still low in bad fats and sugar. I am having trouble meeting my carb intake. Protein is good and fat is good. I am not a vegetarian/vegan, but I am not opposed to eating that way, or using vegetarian/vegan sources. Does anyone have any recommendations of sources?

    You don't need to hit your carb intake. Protein and fat are a minimum.

    VEGGIES! brussel sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, all good carbs, filling and will help reach fiber goals which will have you feeling more satisfied.

    Rather than address what I think is the misunderstanding or misinformation in your comments, I'll refer you to a good site about nutrition:
