Need health advice please?

I am a 17 y/o girl who is currently training in boxing.
I would like to compete in amateur fights at tournaments in about a years time, but I also need to keep a decent diet if I want to stay fit.
Does anyone have any ideas of some of the foods I could stack up on that would give me enough energy for training, but are also not too fatty?
I research things like a diet for boxers, but all they say is that I should load up in carbs; it makes sense, because it gives you energy, but I don't like carbs that much...😞
Any advice?

Protein! Protein! Protein! Lean meats and fish. Eggs are carb free and full of protein. The only carbs you should be eating are vegetables and they're usually low in carbs. Protein and veggies... You can't go wrong! Eat pasta, rice, bread etc like once or twice a week tops or only on days when you really need energy (no more than two days tho). If you're on a multivitamin and eat well I doubt you'll have any problems. Nature's bounty apple cider vinegar is a great supplement to take for energy. You'll be fine and good luck. :)

by the way, fruits are good but probably one or two a day. Your body can't tell the difference between natural sugar from fruits and unnatural sugar-filled foods and drinks. It doesn't matter where it comes from, sugar is sugar to your body and it will make fat cells from that sugar.

As someone who used to box tournaments, I mean you got to stack up on the fruit (avocado, grapes, etc.) and veggies & meats (chicken is really good , lean beef, beef jerky), GRANOLA, tuna, and eggs , pasta, bread trust me if you workout the way your supposed to you will stay at your weight
