I have to find a few more calories to fit in. Maybe a bag of peanuts for a snack.

I remember reading a good, perhaps the best, description of how the body uses carbs and fats. Image them as a match. The body wants to burn fat but it needs a starter to get the process going. The carbs are that starter. Imagine that the red portion of the match is the fat and the white, stricker portion, are the carbs. You need the carbs to get the whole burn process going but you don't want so many carbs that all your body is burning is carbs. You want to tick on over to the fat burn. If you are eating mostly carbs you are burning mostly carbs and anything you don't burn gets converted into some thing that can be stored. Only this makes it harder to use. So you do want to keep your carbs down if you want to tick over to that fat burn faster. That image has always stuck in my mind.
