    Not enough carbs in diet

    Going over MFP or My fitness pal I realize I'm going a little over on my fat and way over on my protein but I'm not getting enough carbs can not getting enough carbs in my diet reduce my chance of weight gain?

    current stats as of tonight after finishing my food log

    4,013 calories/Goal: 3,313 this is wrong I'm bulking and needing to up my calories constantly so 4000 is about where I need to be

    307g carbs/Goal: 459g seems like to much to me but not sure

    155g fat/Goal: 111g

    125g protein/359g most of this is lean especially the steak it was about 70g

    Thanks for your help

    So basically, you missed all of your macros?

    Solution: Don't miss your macros.

    Well, you want to hit 1g protein per pound of bw, and 0.4g of fat per pound of bodyweight. The rest of you calories can really come from wherever you want, but most people fill them with carbs for best results.

    Not sure what you are asking. It's not going to be 'high' unless it causes you to exceed your calorie goals. You can eat as many as you want as long as you don't go over.

    When bulking protein needs are a bit lower.
