It's perfectly fine to have a very low fat diet. Fat is a survival mechanism built into our body to help us sustain energy levels when the energy isn't available in food. However, when you are eating 300-400g carbs every day, what makes you think you need 30% of your intake in fats? Since food is readily available to eat, take advantage and lower your fat set point by reducing the fat intake and doing some moderate to high intensity cardio a few times per week.

What I recommend is reducing the dietary fat down to about 5-10% and supplementing with GLA's and Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids in a moderate dosing. Get your healthy fats but reduce the other types down to nearly nothing. Replace those calories with complex carbs and MCT oil for muscle-building and fat-burning nutrition.

Again, this is what I do and it works no doubt. Every person I put on this program benefits greatly in their quest for being lean and muscular.

i think high protein/fat, med carb is the way to go myself.
more carbs and more sugar spiks could add un-needed fatgain for people not expert on their diet.

i find nicer leaner gains with less faqt bu going highprotein, med fat, med carb. for bulking and higher fat for cutting.

And I respect the fact that people are different too.

However, as a side note, I would also experience the fat gain myself on a high carb diet which is precisely why I include very particular types of slow-releasing carbs alongside a very high fiber intake (45-50g/day). I have found that the combination of fiber with slow-releasing complex carbs and a high protein diet actually drastically slow down the digestion of the food which eliminates the insulin spike and rather creates a trickle. Trickle is good because what most people do not realize is that while insulin causes fat gain in some cases (usually associated with simple sugar intake), insulin is also essential in muscle building. Furthermore, without the presence of insulin, certain nutrients such as amino acids do not get shuttled to the cell. This makes it necessary for insulin to be present at least to some degree in every meal.

I realize that proteins illicit some insulin activity - but not very much with the exception of whey protein. Whey, for whatever reason, causes an insulin spike. It gives me sugar crashes actually which is why I always take it with other food to slow the rate of digestion of whey.

I can also agree that eveything in moderation (with exception being protein intake) is also a safe way to see slow steady results. Keeping protein high in any case is essential. Good talk, sir.
