Well balanced meal

Cutting out carbs is not the answer. Your body, in order to function properly needs carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body. You won't lose weight by cutting out carbs, you lose weight by decreasing your calories. Cutting out carbs will create a calorie deficit but will cause cravings and uncontrolled leptin levels which will later have an increased effect on weight gain. 

Here's a perfect example of a well balance meal: 
Sautéed bell peppers and mushrooms in coconut oil with two egg whites, 4 oz of chicken and 1/2 cup of whole wheat pasta w/a tablespoon of olive oil.

You have your carbs (pasta), protein (chicken & eggs), good fats (olive oil & coconut oil), and your fiber/veggies (bell peppers & mushrooms)
