How about a little help, macro trackers?

I am a 126 lb woman eating at maintenance and my carbs are 290. You might want more.

And I use MyFitnessPal for tracking (free version is all you need). It has an built-in barcode scanner for identifying foods that are already in the database. You can also create your own food entry by typing the data yourself. The macros are usually written somewhere on the package, so it tends to be pretty easy.

I also highly recommend reading Jordan's rules of protein intake which do an excellent job of simply explaining the ins and outs of how that protein macro target should be met (timing, portions, quality, that kind of thing).

Edit: Oh, and I also highly recommend MyFitnessPal. The nutritional info of so much stuff is crowd sourced, so there is a very good chance that whatever you are eating is already uploaded by someone, especially if you can barcode scan it. My wife cooks a lot of recipes she finds online, and it is rare that something she cooks isn't already in the app, although portions can sometimes be a pain.
