How much does Eating healthy impact/factor how much fat you gain?

[BlueBison17]

It sounds like a no brainer, of course Eating healthy is good for you and won't make you so fat.
But when your bulking and eating healthy, won't you still gain quite a bit of fat?
I'm bulking and I don't want my stomach to gain anymore fat than what it already has.

1) is eating healthy alone, enough to prevent any fat gain in my stomach?
2) lets say one person(A) just ate whatever they want, moderately healthy. Another person (B) eats completely healthy, at the end of 3 months they compare each other, How much more fat would you say Person A gained compared to person B?

i've been told i've gotten bigger a bit, but also at the same time that my stomach seems bigger. I am so fed up with that!!
I can't do a exact diet because I live off of college Food. Which is not consistent.

There is no such thing as a "healthy" or "unhealthy" food. A calorie is a calorie, no matter what.

^ What he said. But if you are gonna be counting macros then you would get "better" macros with "healthy foods". IMO.

yes perhaps
but then you have having a higher protien/low carb diet that makes your body loose weight or something like that.
Or eating every 2 hours so your body doesn't store fat, or some weird chemical rule in our bodies.
Yes a calorie is a calorie, and I know weight gain is unavoidable, it's fine
but the main question comes down to, how much fat would I save myself from gaining if I choose to eat more healthy vs a semi moderate healthy based diet.

^^^ Fixed

And a caloric surplus is a caloric surplus. You gain the same amount of fat if you eat the same caloric surplus from broccoli and the same caloric surplus of twinkies. It's the same thing.

you wont count calories successfully. eat fiber to lower energy intake.

assuming I didn't misunderstand you- so pretty much there's no difference in the amount of fat you gain, regardless of what you eat, but how would that tie into bad bulking and good bulking? Forgive me for my lack of knowledge in this area.
