Just space out nutrients throughout the day and get your carbs from fruits and vegetables (again think from an evolutionary perspective bread/pasta didn't exist for the vast majority of our evolution). After your workout if you want bread or pasta feel free but don't skimp on the protein and vegetables...you still need those.
I consume a lot of protein anyways. Also stick to complex carbs for the most part but after workouts I always have protein and simple carbs
