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.

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.
