This completely depends on you. There is no one level of carbs that's right is right for everyone. I could tell you that I eat 200 carbs when I am working on fat loss but I have clients that eat only 100 when they are working on fat loss. It's not simple to figure out the right amount of carbs for you. There's a lot more to consider than just your height, weight and activity level as well.
The first thing I would ask is how many carbs and total calories you are eating now? Has your weight been increasing, maintaining or decreasing?
Let me know if I can help!

i generally only eat carbs for dinner. make sure you are getting good carbs, however - whole wheat, etc.
The actual amount in grams will vary from person to person. Generally 30-40% of your daily calories should be from carbs. I eat a carb at every meal.
Lynn is right.
what I do, is figure protein first, since we know that needs to be 1g per pound of lean body mass.
then I do fat, because that should be .4-.5g per pound of lean mass.
then the rest comes from healthy carb choices, mostly around my workout time, and tons of veggies all day except immediately post workout.
carbs should fluctuate depending whether you are bulking or cutting. protein is always a constant, and fat usually doesn't waiver much either.
