Well of course you can make pastry with wholemeal flour, but would it not still be too carby?
Here is a really good recipe you might like to try, I often make steak pies, but tend to do a pastry lid only.
Ingredients:
100 g softened butter
50 g Gluten flour
50 g Protein powder, unflavoured
50 g almond flour
1 egg
2 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
Cream butter and eggs together, add rest of ingredients, knead to a firm dough. Leave to cool in fridge for 30 minutes, then roll out as you would ordinary pastry.
Bake at 150C (thats for fan assisted ovens) for about 20 - 30 minutes, depends on how thick its rolled out.
Total carbs 9g for the pastry
Tip: put a stocking over the rolling pin, the pastry will never stick - I used to do that with ordinary pastry as well
Dont worry about the almond flour, your pie wont be tasting of marzipan, almond flour is neutral in taste.
All the best
