I'm sensitive
I've been in my bulking stage for 4 weeks as always eating clean my issue is that with all these good carbs I'm still putting to much weight around my belly not that it's hanging just a little more there I spoke to a bodybuilder at the gym he says I could be carb intolerant and I need to change the types of carbs I take in I should replace my brown rice, red potatoes, yolks from eggs I should be taking vegetables for my carb source and egg whites only no yolks and NO bread what so ever no even whole wheat....
Now he says I'll still be able to grow but with less fat intake is this good advice
Thanks

If you look at my first
If you look at my first comment below you'll see all of the carbs I choose to use even with a fairly fast metabolism. Kist make sure your carbs are high in fiber. On the other hand, if you're bulking, don't be too concerned with the fat you seem to be gaining. Instead, why don't you do it in phases... bulk for 4 months, then lean out for 2-3. Then bulk again. You need to know how your body will respond & how quickly it will respond to what you're giving it. There's nothing wrong with experimentation. Heck, i'm 4 weeks away from a competition & i'm still experimenting. lol
dude if ur getting fat its
dude if ur getting fat its because ur eating too many carbs... this carb intolerant thing seems like a huge impossibility... what you should do is eat carbs for your first 3-4 meals and then get most of your energy from fat sources for your last 2 meals... this has worked very good for me... the whole approach to bulking where ur eating a buttload of carbs is probably only suitable for people with very high metabolisms or individuals who are extremely muscular and therefore need more carbs for lifting... i can survive comfortably during a bulk phase by eating around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight and 1 gram of carbs per poud of bodyweight and having the rest of calories come from fat... and the whole low fat diet thing to me represents a misconception as to how this macronutrient functions... remember that fast carbs are digested fat and thats why they make us fat.... complex carbs digest have an even slower release and thats why we substitute them for our carb source... fat gets digested even slower... so you're probably not gonna get fat from eating too much fat unless you overdo it... thats my two cents
keep in mind that you need
keep in mind that you need to be mindful of the type of fat you are eating...saturated fats, etc, WILL make you fat. keep to the good fatty acids.
I think you might be getting
I think you might be getting mixed up with insulin resistance. I personally do not eat flour of almost any sort, wheat or anything, as I stay away from starches. I would say 60 percent of my carbs i get from rice. Keep your cardio up, and keep up the clean diet and the lifting, and sometimes it can take more than 4 weeks to repair your metabolism if you have been unhealthy in your diet in the past.
If you try to get your carbs from vegetables, you will decrease your total calorie intake, which is no good if you are lifting intensely. If you are going to cut your carbs, you will need to bump up your fats a little bit, as protein is not necessarily a good source of "energy"
I am not a nutritionist or even what i would consider an expert of any sort, but this is just what has worked for me so far.
Added to what you said J,
Added to what you said J, you are right about the starches. No grains or wheat for me either... no breads, pasta, etc. Sweet potatoes seem to work very well for me both during the bulking & cutting process. It then becomes an issue of how much I take in.
Also, if you're bulking, you need to just bulk! Fat is not a bad thing when it comes to this... & i'm no expert either. But it works. What you should try doing is sticking to a few basic complex carbs.. oatmeal, sweet potatoes, some yams, brown rice, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. If you think you'll get bored eating just these things, just remember that there are many different ways you can prepare them! Plus, complex carbs tend not to be stored as fat as quickly as the simple carbs.
Not an expret either, but I have paid my dues. Hope this helped
