The best carbs are your whole grain carbs, ideally that are high in dietary fiber, but at the same time, high glycemic carbs are great because they make you feel full longer (less desire to eat).
As far as protein, ideally at a minimum one gram per pound of lean body mass. Protein helps prevent muscle loss during weight loss, and is also imperative for building muscle. If you want I can help you figure out how much protein intake you should have per day. | that would great if you could do that

Remember, 1g of protein = 4 calories, so of all the calories you are budgeting for each day, 110g protein will equal 440 of those calories.
