    Sorry I got you confused with the OP.

    If you're trying to lose weight, there's no reason you have to eat any carbs at all - your body can manufacture glucose from other foods. Focus on the foods you like and enjoy, and cut out the ones you dislike.

    Make your own thread. You can then tell people your goals and what you're currently doing.

    My suggestion...eat them. But seriously, with that many calories how easy do you find it to hit your carb totals?

    If it's easy you can eat whatever you want, if it's hard stick to the calorific foods (many good suggestions already) such as

    White bread and pastas
    white rice
    ice cream
    fruit juices
    chocolate

    Oh, and don't discount the sour patch kids and other gummies for workout energy if you need it. It breaks down very quickly to glucose and is a great for fueling workouts.

    If you are using a carb powder from the supplement stores ditch that and go for dextrose monohydrate, aka d-glucose, at your bulk store for a lot less money. It's usually sold as corn sugar. It's also available for next to nothing at wine kit stores.

    I am trying eat as clean as possible. Thank you for you tips. It will be helpful

    Why are you trying to eat 4,000 clean calories? You don't get extra credit for exceeding your vitamin and mineral needs. Fat gains are relative to your surplus, not how clean you eat.

    Full fat milk

    I love milk. I have to cut back to 2% right now in maintenance but if I bulk I will be all over full fat again! I know it's not truly a carb but had to sing the praises of the mighty moo juice.

    Eating mostly nutritious is great but you don't get extra benefits once you hit your nutrient goals.. when you are trying to hit that many calories you will struggle, not to mention the high volume and fiber of the carb can make you feel full and bloated which can impact your workout performance.

    Everything you eat has something that can potentially be harmfull, even fruits and veggies. Since you have a lot of calories, if eating so much is a pain, drink something like chocolate milk or if you want high caloric foods, opt for dried fruits, just a serving of dried dates is 284 calories. Muffins are also high in calories, one muffin can go up to 500 calories. Pasta has high calories too for so little quantities. I even eat donuts when I need to reach my calories goals, I still suggest you add some of the junk food in your food diary, they are easier to reach your goals. It's up to you.

    If you have the time to make some high carb sweets like cake, that would help in avoiding foods with artificial ingredients.
