i don't know any specific websites, i just typed in "carb content for fruit" and "carb content for vegetables" and also for bread.  then I just looked randomly through different sites not really paying attention to their names, sorry

if i do remember correctly, though, the one where i got the fruits and veggies tables was called weighlossforall.com

Absolutely awesome answers, thank you!  Do you know the serving size on the fruits and veggies?  I probably overlooked it!

Examples of things I eat:
Brown rice, multi grain bread, potatoes, whole wheat pasta ...fruit...veggies...I have at least 2 servings of fruits/veggies a day, and usually 1-2 servings of grains/starches.  (When I say servings I mean my mini sized amounts of food, lol, not actual servings sizes necessarily...)

Not sure what you mean by nutritional breakdown though...do you mean for individual items, or are you looking for a daily calorie/fat/protein/carb breakdown?   I don't count daily, so I can't answer that, but I wanted to clarify for other people.
