    I'm currently bulking with my carbs at 400g/day. I eat a lot of sweet potatoes and occasionally some bread. I tried a low carb/ high fat diet for a while and all I did was gain fat. I get the best results keeping my fat at or under 20% of my daily intake with a refeed 2-4 times a month.

    Have you tried weight gaining supplements? If eating carbs is hard, maybe try drinking them. Most weight gainers are real high carb.

    I personally had the same experience. I ran a protein heavy CKD bulk for the hell of it, and got fat (2.5 lbs./week) on 2800/day average, even with calorie cycling and 50/45/5 (p/f/c). Switched to a more "typical" bulking layout of 40/30/30 (p/f/c) and I'm only gaining 0.5-0.6/week average with 3400-4500/day depending upon activity.
