brown rice is high GI. Basmati is good. Fish is friggin perfect. If I could, I would eat fish everyday two meals a day. Different varieties of course.
brown rice has a GI of about 50, which is considered low. Basmati, however has a higher GI of around 58, making it a med. GI carb.

As for other carb sources, I like beans, lentils, sweet potatos, pasta, certain fruits such as peaches, pears, and apples (in the AM-afternoon), if you're okay with dairy, dont forget plain yoghurt (X-low GI) and cottage cheese, both in non-fat versions.
as for proteins, it's simple, just about any lean meat will do
If you do deli turkey, go for low sodium and fat free versions.
Ooooh, almost forgot veggies, eat up as much as you want of green veggies: broccoli, green beans, peppers, chilis, asparagus, sprouts, spinach
