I agree that the best way to gain fat is to increase carbs. But why would you want to do this? The problem with fat is that getting rid of it is really hard. And it gets harder as you age. My suggestion is to take a long term view of this . Be happy with your body the way it is. As you age, you will lose muscle and you will gain fat. It happens to everyone. Use this opportunity to build the muscle you need to set yourself up for the aging process. There is little to be gained by adding fat that your body really doesn't want. Especially since doing this will make maintaining satisfactory BG control more difficult.
