what do you currently do for excercises and describe your routine in detail. This would help a lot

Extra carbs get stored as fat.

How many carbs are you eating?

23% of your muscles are made up of chains of glucose called glycogen. Bodybuilders have been getting huge off of lots of carbs for years. Carbs do not automatically get stored as fat, nor does it necessarily stay there.

The body DOES not use one source of fuel all day long. If you burn 3000 calories and eat 3000 calories all day long, the "carb calories that stored as fat" get burned somewhere in that time frame. If you eat 4000 calories so you can bulk up, obviously some of it is going to go to fat. Be it fat calories, carb calories and even protein calories are converted into glucose. And thus stored as fat if there is extra.

They muscles need protein, glucose AND water. (70% water, 23% glycogen, and 7% protein and other minerals) As long as you are eating a good amount of protein (15-20%) you should be ok. The problem might be in your training or how much sleep you get, also stress can cause a serious catabolic effect in your body.

The old school bodybuilders got huge off pasta, eggs, rice, pasta, eggs, rice, pasta, pizza, burgers, pasta, etc, etc.

All the new anti-carb diet craze is just hype and bull-shit. (except perhaps for the sedentry couch potatoes and diabetics)

No shit! The only people that can benefit from a low carb diet are lazy people who don't need the natural energy. Instead, they'd rather get their energy from caffeine and other stimulants.

I agree. I like my carbs AND caffeine AND other legal stimulants
