Dropping the gut

So I recently had posted on the carbs and dropping of carbs and the differences they made. I had done a paleo diet and lost weight (roughly 20 pounds or so) I lost muscle and fat with that drop. Now that I've tried to put some carbs back in I've gained some weight but the majority in the gut/stomach area. I don't care so much about the weight as much as the look (muscle mass/flat stomach). I was advised to stat a thread for input on what I should try. I would like to put on some mass (even slowly) but the gut is what I want to reduce. A typical day will be some eggs&turkey slices breakfast 930/10am, either brown rice or veggies w 8oz of protein for lunch 130/2pm, a protein shake w water 330/4pm, a protein bar gluten free around 630/645pm, and dinner when I dont have brown rice for lunch i'll have a sweet potato and 8.oz of protein/if i had brown rice for lunch then i'll have maybe a banana and 8.oz of protein. Dinner is right after I workout btw...

Sorry for such a long start to this as I want to include as much detail possible, I will lower the Carbs, I just wanna put on quality mass/lean but I wanna lose this gut.. Any tips/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
 
In. Try laying out your meals in a more reader friendly format for starters like this:
Meal 1: Time -askdfjhaskdlfh
Meal 2: Time - lkajdsfljad
etc.

As we've discussed, you need to start by calculating your total calories and find out what you're eating now and then go from there. The actual foods can be tweaked to meet the total calories from there.

Post up your stats (ht, wt, bf%, tdee (if you know it, if not use an online calc to find a rough est)) and we can all help

I was thinking more of GETTING IN ENOUGH while on low/no carbs....

On a low carb diet you can get in more calories by not choosing lean cuts when you buy meats. Don't drain the fats when you cook. You can take a shot of EVOO in the morning and one at night, or put EVOO / coconut oil in your shakes. You can also eat coconut oil, it's tasty and palatable. These are all tricks to keeping calories up high enough on a low carb diet.
 
It's harder NOT to get your cals on a low carb diet. Just eat but butters and higher fat meats. Fat has over double the cals per gram of pro or carbs so it adds up waaayyyy faster
 
What's your BF%? Are you willing to get a bit complicated in your diet plan? Or looking for something relatively simple..
