Try converting all of your carbs to wheat and oat sources. Sugar should only be in the form of fruit. I cut up nicely while eating 300g of carbs each day. Just keep every meal consistant - Don't eat 80g of carbs one meal, and then 15g with your next meal. Shoot for a set amount with each meal and adjust your diet accordingly. Aside from my before bed meal, I'll consistantly consume 50-60g of carbs with every meal. Before bed, I only eat 1 slice of wheat bread with my meal - 14g.

To give you something to benchmark against, I weigh 205 @ about 9-10% bf and eat about 8 meals each day. I'm trying to gain weight, so my carbs are at about 400-450g daily or 60g per meal. I'd reduce this by 1/3 if trying to lose some bf without muscle loss.
