Lower my carbs, but keep my calories

Options
Hi there,

Looking for some pointers on how to decrease my daily carbohydrate intake, increase my protein intake, and still eat 2000 net calories... Looking at my daily diary, I can easily hit my 15% protein -- in fact I can easily get that to 30% or more by drinking a protein powder shake... but I would like to do is get my carbs down to the 40% mark.... but it seems like when I do this, I start to struggle with my calories.. and then I am under eating by 600+ ....

Any suggestions on what foods I can eat that are high in protein, high in calories but low in carbs?

SilMarillion.

    Change your macros to show 40/30/30, that way your diary reflects your goal to hit 40% carbs...
    Then add in more healthy fats to meet your calorie goal. Fats aren't evil. Olive oil, avocado, peanut butter, nuts...those will get to your calorie goal in no time!
