    If you want to gain quality muscle with as little fat as possible your going to have to have a clean diet. Meaning only taking in carbs in your breakfest (egg whites/oatmeal), PWO (dex/whey) shake, and your PPWO (lean protein/yam) meal.

    Not neccessarily true, i have an extra carb meal when i am bulking. It is all dependent on the person.

    as for the original question, go with oats, sweet potatoes(yams), brown rice, and then dex for pwo. There are plenty other options but these are the best choices for carbs imo

    He wants to gain 15 lbs and you are telling him to limit carb to 3 meals? And having 4 meals with carbs is a bulk? So as not to sugar-coat it, Jesus what a crock of ****! This carbs-are-evil syndrome is really going too far. IMO the only time you should limit carbs so much is when seriously cutting or contest-prepping. To maintain and to bulk carbs are your friend. As long as you don't go insane with them, and remember that cals in vs. cals out should be your foremost (but not sole obviously) concern you are good to go.

    In terms of sources, try:
    -oats
    -kasha (buckwheat)
    -brown and basmati rice
    -bulgur wheat
    -oatbran
    -barley
    -sweet potato
    -wholewheat pasta and couscous
    -millet
    -butternut squash (if available)
    -fresh fruits and vegetables
