      I know general thinking is that caloric surplus makes you fat not ,Carbs !?
      but I been on 26% bf mostly last 4 years but then I started cuting carbs down mostly I keep them under 120 a day and
      they come mostly from Fruits and Vegies bit bread
      in morning and with some other stuff I went down to 12 % BF !
      So ok maybe I am wrong in thinking that I lost bf because of carbs but because I don t overeat anymore,so
      would that mean if I eat just icecream and sweets and chocolate all day with some protein shakes I can still stay lean (maintaining calories at 2500)?!?!

      I mean that what I understood when people say not carbs but calories surplus makes you fat

      Carbs spike insulin, insulin inhibits fat burning. By keeping insulin under control you keep fat under control.

      I switched from bulking with mostly carbs to good fats now and noticed I feel better and leaner while bulking

      Not quite.
      Aslong as you hit 1.2g/lb protein and 0.45g/lb fats, you can eat whatever you want for your remaining calories

      Well of course I would hit 1.2 g/ kg with protein shakes and 0.45 g/kg of fat choclade and icecream are loaded with fat
      And takeaways can't miss those numbers so you reckon I try and I would still be lean and keep my bf low with calories maintained

      Like anything if you eat it to excess of course you will.

      So long as i go moderate and throw in some good fats, then im usually good to go.
