The key when choosing grains as carbohydrates sources is to pick unprocessed grains that are low glycemic index.
Take rice for example. White rice has a very high glycemic index because the outer husk of the rice hull has been removed. Brown rice on the other hand has a much lower GI rating and will raise blood sugar levels much slower.
The best carbohydrate sources to base your diet around are sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal and vegetables. They provide the most nutrients and are all low GI and will raise blood glucose levels very slowly.

You need to eat more overall obviously but focus on protein as well as carbs. If you just load up on carbs you will not gain the quality weight you want to.

Can you outlay your diet ? I am curious how much do you eat per day (EVERY DAY) and not a random one day when you eat a lot.
Most of the people who claim the same thing, actually barely eat close to maintenance calories. Some of us have to eat 7-8 times a day and still struggle with the mass gaining..
