| Arzoo, if you're trying to figure out how many carbs to eat in a day, you could check out fitday.com for information. It gives recommendations for the percentage of carbs, protein, and fat to consume in a day based on your height, weight, and body mass index. You can also enter the foods you've eaten in a day and it breaks the information into a pie chart to show the breakdown percentages of proteins, carbs, and fats.
Like the others have said, carb intake will also depend on whether you're happy with your current weight or if you'd like to lose or gain weight. Some folks feel they should strive for balance in what they eat; others have better luck with less carbs and more protein. Maybe you could meet with a dietician to help figure things out.
Count the carbs on a per-meal basis to determine how much insulin to take per meal (based on your insulin:carb ratio your doctor should have helped you determine), but also keep track of how many carbs you've eaten in a day as well as proteins and fats. It'll seem hard at first, but soon enough it'll be second nature for you.
I also recommend Corrine Netzer's "Complete Book of Food Counts" as a good resource.
