I would stay on a low carb diet (150 grams or less) but always plan about 50g of your daily intake to be eaten after your workout and the rest earlier in the day...prior to 5 PM.

I would also rotate the days you eat any carbs before your workout. So one session eat 50 grams prior and the next don't eat any carbs. This will allow your body to benefit from both the carb/glycogen deficient state and then benefit the next day form the glycogen that will be replenished and stored prior to workout.

This has been a very successful method for myself and many of my clients when trying to re-comp.

Definatly...eat any fruits early in the day...but keep them minimal as even though fruit provides good nutrients, it also is a simple carb and will spike your insulin level. Apples or Grapefruit will be your best bet.

As far as veggies, limit carrots and tomatoes as they also have a relatively high amount of simple carbs associated with them (not as much as fruit however). With the other veggies like, broccoli, celery, cucumbers, etc...you can generally eat as much as you want.
