What are some HIGH CARB/LOW FAT/LOW PROTEIN Meals that Taste Good!!!???

[TheMinimalist]

My Calories/Macros are messing me up. Towards the end of the day, I find that my FAT and PROTEIN quickly gets accounted for, but then I'm left with a bunch of Carbs remaining to eat. I'm still trying to get things 'balanced' so that I can enjoy a full day of eating every meal.

Calories: 3000

Fat: 80g
Carbs: 390g
Protein: 180g

Why not use Google or look at the recipe thread...

Once your fat and protein minimum's are met, just eat too preference, it's not rocket science.

Eating more fruit helps me hit my carb (and potassium!) targets. I have similar macro ratios and I also find it hard to stick to my protein limit for the day while getting enough carbs, and fruit really helps.

I also tend to eat meat or fish at only 1 meal a day these days; protein at the other main meals comes from grain + peanut butter, legumes, or high-fat cheese (which is, therefore, lower in protein).

eat larger portions of pasta/rice/noodles/potato etc with your mealsl?

[SwolenBro]

To answer your question: chocolate, sweets, pop tarts

This is spot on. I look at my protein and fat requirements as a minimum and often find they go over.

How people have difficulty getting enough carbs is beyond me. Usually it's the other way around.

The sky's the limit, man.

There's a huge variety: pasta, a toast, oatmeal with honey cinnamon and raisins, dried fruits, fruits, low fat pastries(iifym),rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and whatever elso go on your mind

It can be surprisingly difficult to eat enough carbs without going over on protein (if you have reason to desire not to consume excess protein--and there are many good reasons not to do so). Since many carb sources, including vegetables, also contain protein, it adds up fast.

Something else that makes it hard is micros. If you care about micronutrients and your potassium:sodium ratio (which you should, because it affects ability to contract muscles!)--it can be difficult to get enough carbs without eating too much sodium and not enough potassium if you don't choose your sources wisely. I tend to go for lower-salt breads like Ezekiel, unprocessed grains (farro, bulgur, oats, rice--white or brown, I go for white a lot because I get so much fiber and protein already from other sources!), and starchy vegetables like potatoes/corn/peas/quinoa.

Since I'm crashing your thread, OP, I would also like to ask what the rest of your day looks like? As another poster mentioned, you could likely make a few tweaks throughout your day so you DON'T wind up with imbalanced macros left for your final meal or two of the day.

I'd say fill in the gaps with fruit. Almost pure carb, and a tasty addition to end a meal.

[BestMee]

Yeah fruit is great. Almost like a snack.

[PBateman2]

Rice pudding.

Eh, I keep my protein below 1 g/lb, carbs closing in on 3x bw some days, with a primarily whole-food based diet. K/Na about 1.5-2:1 most days. I suppose it can take some adjusting at first if you're used to leaning towards high fat/protein foods, but it's doable.
