Aversion to high protein, low fat foods?

Ok so I’ve been having this problem since I can remember. I crave carbs above all else and also love me some fatty foods as well. I also enjoy healthy foods and grew up eating plenty of raw veggies and not a ton of sugar. I remember being a kid and barely choking down whatever protein my parents wanted me to eat and taking second helping of the potatoes, garlic bread, pasta, etc. I would always have salad after dinner as well (no cheese or some feta and oil & vinegar). Now as an adult I’m overweight and have gone through several cycles of losing a ton of weight and gaining it back. Most of my weight loss has been achieved by cutting carbs and upping my protein. The problem is trying to eat enough protein that is recommended by those macro calculators you find is absolute torture. I get halfway through my meal and I can’t eat anymore. If I push past I feel nauseous or start to get a headache. I gobble down the carbs and can’t finish my protein and usually end up forcing myself otherwise I’m hungry five minutes later, just not for whatever it is I was trying to eat. I’m really struggling. I’m trying to eat healthily and not restrict my eating (I had issues with that in the past as well) but I’m starting to feel like I just don’t enjoy eating when I’m trying to be healthy. Anyone else experience this?
