Eating your calories without the carbs

I can understand where you're coming from, as I experienced the same. That said I find it easy enough to eat about 1800/ 1900 calroies while easily keeping under 50g of net carbs. I've just uppped my daily calories a little recently, and relaxed my net carb intake to 100g instead of 50g, and can easily enough fit in about 2200/ 2300 calories, while happily keeping to the 100g limit for carbs.

Anway, the above was just to illustrate it is possible. I don't have any added sugar in my diet or grains, and have just moderate amounts of anything starchy like potatoes for example. With those restrictions, what I tend to eat commonly includes nuts, seeds, eggs, meat (lean and fatty), lots of non-starchy vegetables, along with some milk, cheese and yoghurt. I'm doing a bit of dabbling at the moment, but a typical day for me not so long ago would have went along the lines of;

Breakfast: Full fat yoghurt, berries, chopped nuts, chopped seeds (600 calories)
Lunch: Spanish-style filled omelette w/ 2 eggs, vegetables, some cheese, and tuna/ smoked mackerel/ chicken/ turkey (500 calories)
Dinner: Meat/ Fish, lots of non-starchy vegetables, moderate portions of starchy vegetables (500 calories)
Snacks: Dark chocolate (80%+ cocoa), celery/ carrot & peanut butter, handful almonds (300 calories)

The above would be a typical 1900 calorie day for me, and would typically fall just slightly under the 50g net carb mark.

There's some good resources out there, and myself, I tended to lump foods into categories based on how many carbs they contained, so I could mix and match with relative ease. So for example, do your homework and see what foods are 0/ negligible carb, which are minimal carb, low carb, and moderate carb. Armed with that information, you can set about formulating your food for the day

Try coconut oil and butter. They are really yummy and carb free. You can even put grass fed butter and coconut oil in your coffee. It sounds weird but it is called bullet proof coffee. google it.

You have three macro-nutrients, carbs/protein/fat....if you eliminate one or substantially cut back on one (in this case carbs) you have to up your intake of one or both of the others. Fat is the easiest since it is calorie dense.

Why are you trying to stay below 100 carbs? Is this a medical thing or are you just afraid of carbs...'cuz they're really not the devil they've been made out to be by the mainstream fitness and diet industry...they just happen to be to latest and greatest in a long line of dietary demons.

Just eat whole grains. Carbs are where you get energy and i don't see why everyone is so eager to cut them out of their diets. Unless you are diabetic. But natural carbs are fine.

fat is a much more efficient fuel source than carbs are, and eating fat promotes the burning of body fat. your body isn't constantly having to burn off all the blood sugar before it gets a chance to get to the energy stored in body fat.

and most people have developed diabetes because they've been ingesting too many carbs over too long a period (especially considering how much sugar is in most products), which causes them to become insulin resistant, which is a precursor for type 2 diabetes.
