Angel, here is a group that I am a member off.  There ae postings about plan ahead cooking in there somewhere.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Frugal-Folks-Life/

I call it my cheapshate site.

ETA:  I am too lazy to search but where on Sparkpeople is the group?  There is one on there but it has been a year since the last posting.

the glycemic index site was posted by me last post I posted here. that is far more important than 'carbs' count.

One thing that this doesn't discuss, though, is whether the items are high glycemic index or low glycemic index. Not all carbs are created equal, and sticking to the ones that have lower impact on insulin is preferable. For example, even though a teaspoon of jam has 1/3 less carbs than an apple, the apple is a better choice because the fiber in the apple means that it has a lower impact on blood glucose and less impact on insulin.
