I agree about trying to get the carbs a little lower. Rice is fairly high GI as I recall, which means it has a greater effect on your insulin and blood sugar than, say, green beans.
As for veggies, what are you eating? Corn is a starch, carrots are high GI and potatoes are right out. You want green stuff - lettuces, broccoli, summer squash, celery, cucumbers, green pepper, etc.
Thirdly, get that protein up! 60 g just barely meets the USRDA for women and the RDA is only the level that won't make you sick from deficiency. It's nowhere near what you need to be *healthy*. You probably need more like 100g-120 g or more!
Go poke around in people's journals and see what they're eating.
My protein is usually in the 150-200 g range, and when I'm not iso (Zone), my carbs are around 40-50 g after fiber is taken out.
Cheers,
Friday
