Skinny-Fat bulking

[Drick]

Im a 20yr old male currently at 161lb, 17.4%BF, and 5'9". I've decided to bulk since I have realized most of my fat in my gut is due to lack of muscle. However I'm not sure if I should bulk clean, or bulk on a keto diet. My reason for wanting to bulk on a keto diet is simply because I respond better to protein and fat, compared to carbs.

I would bulk clean and save the keto for 6 months to a year down the road when you cut. Only you know how your body reacts though. I would start clean with carbs and adjust your macros depending on how you respond.
