I just checked MY macros (I am not trying to lose weight, this is maintenance level calories) and my planned macros today for 1815 calories include 165gm of protein, which to my mind would be plenty in every sense of the word. (I'm 125ish pounds). So the rest would be carbs/fiber and fat. Sounds ok to me, even though with higher calories the ratio gets a bit skewed towards carbs. Of course, you should make them healthy fibrous carbs, not ding dongs.

If you WANT to do low carb, you'd ditch the carbs and go higher in fats.
