Eat oats, sprouted grain bread, brown rice. Try to get most of your carbs from veggies. Best thing too do is pre plan your meals, cook them for the week and put them in containers.
Get yourself s good protein powder, of you get hungry make a shake as a snack, or be creative and make protein brownies.

Actually you can get energy just from high protein with very minimal carb foods - called Ketogenesis. The key is instead of eating carbs you replace with it very high fatty foods such as fish, bacon, cheese, yogurt, daily, coconut oil.. a variety of different kinds of fats. Again, obviously this is a bit extreme, but a lot people I know who are bodybuilders follow this diet when they are in their cutting phase.
