Default Carbohydrate amount question - new to tsp

I have tried to follow lc diets for years but have come to the conclusion that they do not feel good to me. I have trouble eating balanced meals and tend to snack all day and usually end up binging on carbs at some point. I never grew up eating regular balanced meals either and usually ate whatever I felt like whenever I felt (cupcake for dinner anyone?). Anyway TSP seems to be a good plan to teach someone like me how to eat normal healthy balanced meals and not just rely on extreme diets to lose weight only to revert to bad eating and gain it all back.

My question is how to determine the carbs per meal thing. One place in the Program book says 125 carbs per day divided into 5 meals with 25 carbs each. I have also seen in other places 75 carbs per day 15 at each meal and 7.5 at each snack. Also, are you supposed to count the carbs in the non-starchy veggies or just in the carby carbs? I am guessing that I need a bit of time on the healing part of the diet but it is a little confusing to me what exactly I should be doing. I'm also a little scared of the part where it says you may gain weight I don't want to

Any words of wisdom from TSP masters?
