I don't want to discourage the notion of upping intake of healthy fats to compensate for carb diminution, but it's also worth bearing in mind that carbs are NOT an essential nutrient, and that, although protein is not stored in the body for use as energy, if you consume enough protein to exceed the need/capacity of the body to metabolize it for muscle repair/building, it will be used for energy or, to the extent not necessary for energy production, converted for storage as fat (and subsequent conversion from fat to energy).
