Default Either not enough calories or too much

I've found that a little lately, I have eiter been consuming around 1400 calories or 2200! I cannot seem to get to a healthy amount! What do you think? I think maybe I am having more htan what Calorieking stated due to my lack of including cooking oils (usually minimal) . I have no clue how to moder ate myself. I either have very few carbs or a bunch, never right aroud the perfect 20, and I have added in two or three small strawbarries with a little whipped cream every morning with my omelete. That gives me a few, but I don't know how to get 20 carbs from vegetables alone! I eat a lot of vegetables, and I still don't get that many carbs from them, and I usually end up eating something completely off limits. I found that once I stopped eating a bunch of peanut butter, My carb count plummeted. Also, does fiber convert into glucose? And how much are we supposed to have? I have no clue, and have been getting aound 5 grams a day from psyllum husk fiber. ERGGG! I don't know what to do . Is it bad to eat few calories?
