I'm not sure how using PAM would change your percentages. You have to make sure you keep your fat intake around 65%. It may require a bit of playing in FitDay to see what is the best way to tweak things.
Increasing the carbs is not necessary -- just make sure you eat your 3 cups of veggies and have most net carbs (i.e. over half) coming from vegetables. Decreasing your caloric intake will automatically increase your carbohydrate percentage. In any case, I wouldn't worry too much about percentages unless you are completely off... which right now you are not.
One reason why you might be hungry is the high protein intake. The body cannot store excess protein as such, so it has to convert it into something else. This "something else" is glucose (a simple sugar).
Here is my suggestion. 3 cups of ground beef and 500 g (1 lb) of chicken is too much. For example, the recipes in
DANDR 2002 consist of about 6-8 oz of meat (after cooking) per serving. So what you could do is eat less meat. This would also mean eating less fat, since you wouldn't have to use so much oil in cooking.
