Answer
Carbs actually are good! You need them, they fuel your brain.
I'll give you a sample of things you could eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner during a day.
Breakfast: Oatmeal with Fruits (Blueberries, Blackberries, Bananas, Kiwi, Strawberries, etc), 2 or 3 Egg Whites, Scrambled. Add Shredded Cheese to your Eggs for more protein if you wish.
Lunch: (Now I know you're not huge on vegetables so I'll give you a couple of options for lunch)
1) Spinach Salad with some Grilled Chicken (again for protein) and your choice of dressing (Vinaigrette being the healthiest, but Kraft makes great low cal Ranch Dressing or my personal favourite Russian Dressing).
2) Grilled Chicken Sandwich on Whole Grain or Rye Bread with Light Mayonnaise, Lettuce, Tomatoes and Sprouts.
3) I'm a huge fan of Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers, they have many essential nutrients in each Steamer and they are generally packed with Fibre. They make for a great on the go lunch.
Dinner:
1) Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower, either Baked Tilapia or Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice or a Baked Potato.
2) Stirfry made of Brown Rice (add Soya Sauce for taste if you want), a medley of vegetables (Snowpeas, carrots, broccoli, Cauliflower, etc) and Grilled Chicken.
For snacks during the day (try to have 1 snack between each meal), Fibre1 makes great tasting 100 calorie bars (Peanut Butter and Chocolate flavoured are my personal favourite), they are filling and give you 25% of your daily recommended Fibre, Unsweetened Applesauce, Low fat Yogurt, an Apple or Banana.
Also, you should be drinking 2L of water each day, it'll keep you feeling full (your body often mistakes hunger for dehydration), keep your skin clearer and your breath smelling better.
Hope this helps. I'll list a few good sources for recipes:

Helpful Hint: Your dinner plate should be 1/2 Vegetables, 1/4 Lean Protein & 1/4 Carb or Starchy Vegetable.

How can you stay a vegetarian? What can you eat? etc?
Kylie
Now I know that there are thousands of websites on being a vegetarian and I know that there are some answers on Yahoo! Answers but I still would like to ask my own questions:
-I know that there are different types of vegetarians but what are they? What are you called if you eat anything but meat?
-Can you eat eggs or eat/drink and dairy products if you're someone who doesn't eat meat?
-How can you stay a vegetarian? Any tips on how to stay a vegetarian for a long time?
-Whatever, I just need tips on BEING a vegetarian.
Okay, so I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian. I know that there are different types but I am planning on being the kind that eats anything but meat. I need a healthier eating plan and I love animals so that's why I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian.
Any photos, websites, or Tumblrs that you know of would help me a bunch! Same with recipes or any ideas on what to eat! Thanks x
Answer
1.) The types of vegetarianism are:
~Ovo-Lacto vegetarian (eats eggs, dairy, honey, but no meat.)
~Ovo vegetarian (eats eggs & honey but no dairy or meat.)
~Lacto Vegetarian (eats/ drinks milk and dairy, honey, but doesn't eat eggs or meat.)
~Veganish (this is what I call people who eat vegan, which is NO animal products, but still wear leather, wool, etc.)
~Vegan (use no animal produces what-so-ever.)
~fruititarian (only eat the 'fruit' of a plant, so the plant itself isn't killed. Eats no animal products at all.)
~Raw vegan (uses no animal products at all and eats them raw for a most of the time. I've heard of people eating raw 80% of the time, but I'm guessing the percentage varies.)
2.) Ovo-lacto vegetarians eat dairy and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarianism in the USA, and is often refered to as a 'starting point' for people who want to eventually transition to vegan, though some people simply stay Ovo- lacto vegetarian.
3.) My best tips would have to be:
~Eat your fruits and veggies!!!! Make sure you eat plenty of protein from beans, nuts, dairy and eggs (if you choose to eat the dairy and eggs.)
~Get iron from dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, and so on (Make green smoothies if you don't like greens that much, that way you just taste fruit.)
~ When you get meat cravings, don't cave! I've found that it's usually not the meat a person craves, they usually need a fat. When you feel like you NEED to eat meat, try eating some eggs, (yes, the yolk too!) or maybe something nice and cheesy. Your body will crave fat, especially when you first start out, because it's used to all the fat from meat. But you don't really need all the fat- your body is just a costumed to it, and needs to adjust.
~DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT overload on the soy!!!! This is the worst mistake I ever made! :P Soy is good for getting protein, but you can have too much of anything, so watch how much you eat. Any morningstar products are great to keep around the house, but think of them like fast food- only eat them once in a while!
~ If you're eating healthy, don't be afraid to eat. Don't think "oh, well, I ate all these veggies and I'm still hungry but I don't want to gain weight." Veggies are low in calories and have lots of water in them, So don't be afraid to eat 'too many' fruits and veggies. :)
~ If you get hungry a lot, eat more protein. If you feel like you can't feel full, no matter how much you eat, you need protein
As for what to eat? Here's a few Ideas:
~black bean Burgers
~grilled cheese
~ cheese pizza
~ salad! as long as you have veggies you're good.
~ Shepards pie- just sub the meat for sauteed mushrooms and the use mushroom gravy!
~ veggie grilled sandwich (peppers, onions, mushrooms all sauteed and hot on a bun)
