Increasing Calories without increasing carbs and fat

My questions to those who dare to answer. How do I eat enough calories without increasing my carb intake and fat intake. I have diabetes so an increase in carbs causes my blood sugar to spike. I try to work out at least 5 to 6 times a week. I do zumba and a lot of high cardio classes so I burn from 600 to 1000 calories in each class. I can't figure out how I am suppose to eat these calories back and therefore I am not eating enough food and not seeing the weight loss I am working so hard to achieve.

Why do you not want to increase your fat intake to make up the calories? I'm type 2 diabetic and I basically try to keep my carbs under 80-100, protein at least 100 and the rest is fat.0
