| Eating carbs to gain weight? OK, but you want quality carbs. You could improve many things about your diet - seriously. Are you trying to gain body fat or muscle weight? If muscle then I would recommend finding much healthier alternatives to things like Captain Crunch for example (that's not real food). I get a lot of carbs too but mine come in the form of whole fresh produce and some whole grains.
Strength training is key, and good fuel that supports it is also key. I recommend a balance of quality carbs, quality proteins, and quality fats. If you're not sure what I mean by that then by all means ask - or crack a book/web site on basic nutrition. You might take care not to over-do your cardio exercise while building muscle but I would still do a little. Work hard at strength training, but do it right (proper form) and be patient - it takes time. Consider a trainer.
