    I am bad on carbs too. I had to lower my carb % manually to help not eat as much. I seem to be doing better with it now. I find that MFP allows you to have to many carbs and fats. Hope this helps some

    Fresh vegetables, lean meats from the meat section (NOT the deli), fish & seafood, dairy, eggs, beans (pinto, black, navy, garbanzo or chickpeas, edamame).

    It's not so much the carbs themselves, but the refined carbs - stay away from white food. Whole grains are good for you :)

    I try to keep my carbs to 40g per meal. I love this recipe book "8 Grams or Less Low Carb Recipes" by Better Homes & Gardens. It's an older book but it's still available on Amazon. I've tried many of the recipes and most of them are really good. The best thing about the recipe's is that most of them use 5 ingredients or less! Super easy to make!
