If your gaining fat but not muscle, increase protein consumption, decrease other forms of caloric consumption (fats and carbs)
When I bulk I don't really ever feel fatter but then I try to keep my diet mostly clean when I bulk. But if you feel you are getting fatter and do not want that result then yes decrease your carbohydrate intake a little AND increase your protein intake
I'm not looking fatter, I just feel a bit fatter. I'll try replacing some of the carbohydrates with protein. Would another solution be to get more carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables and less from grains, or does it not make much of a difference (I eat both, but I get more from grains)?
What exactly does "feel" fatter mean? Maybe you are just feeling more full throughout the day because you are eating more than you are used to. As to fruits/veges vs. grains that's something you got to experiment with. I personally don't prefer starchy or grainy carbs and like to make smoothies with just fruit and vegetables for my carbs. Everything is really based on your individual body and what you like and work best with.

It doesn't make much of a difference. Because in the end it's the total number of calories in that matter.
