It's not a myth bro, it's my reality. Used to absolutely die in the afternoons, since I started avoiding carbs I'm at full power all day. What's good quality carb?

It's not, you don't understand diet, correlation isn't causation. You can it carbs and feel great it's about meal composition.

Base for most meals: Chicken breast/skinny meat/legumes/skinny fish with few grams of olive oil, boiled potatoes/rice/pasta/groats, and half plate of your favorite vegetables, at least 150g. Whole should have at least 30g of protein and about 300-800kcal depending on gender and activity.

how much rice or pasta?

Depends on your daily calorie intake and preferences. It should be about 1/4 of the meal. 1/4 protein and half plate of veggies.

1/4th of a single meal is about what I do now. I've not given up entirely on carbs but I used to lunch a full plate of rice or pasta and then feel sleepy for the next 5 hours. This is still reducing carbs massively, most people often have entire meals of only carbs, that's what I argue against.
