carb curious

I've been looking around but can't seem to find a specific answer. I'm 5' 175 lbs, goal weight is 120-130, and I would like to try to balance carbs and calories for a better diet than just watching calories alone.

what is a good daily carb intake?

Here is a good link on that subject. I was looking for the exact same info as you this morning. I have been stuck on a plateau and thought reducing carbs might help.

In a nutshell:
Carbohydrate Intake
On a moderate carbohydrate diet, you should keep your daily carbohydrate intake below 100 grams. Try to consume 40 percent of your daily food intake as carbohydrate, 30 percent as protein, and 30 percent as fat. This pattern will encourage your body to burn fat while maintaining muscle.
