I'm trying to do a slow, lean bulk to minimize fat gain and I'm curious about the following:

I've read that eating a breakfast, with moderate fat and low carbs encourages your body to focus on burning fat for energy throughout the rest of the day.

I've also read that carbs are important for intense workouts, but only pre-workout and not afterwards.

Would it be best to eat a breakfast consisting of high protein, moderate fat and low carbs followed by a moderate carb snack later on before an intense workout, or would a breakfast high in protein with moderate carbs, but low in fat followed by a workout be best in regards to limiting fat gain?

I don't consider myself particularly learned in this field, so please tell me if I'm thinking about this wrong.

I'm thinking that I might just be an idiot; I can probably just eat a small breakfast consisting of high protein and moderate carbs & fats about a half hour before my workout and then just limit carbs afterwards.

Please weigh in if you can.

I like to eat a high fat/protein breakfast with as much fruit as I can stomach. About 5-6 eggs, two bananas, two cups of cantaloupe and maybe some cottage cheese only adds up to around 65 carb max. Fruit is really low glycemic too so fat storage will be at a minimal. If you work out soon after breakfast though than take in more carbs

Eat high fat and low carbs

Carbs (especially white bread) raise your insulin levels which make your body store fat

Wouldn't just eating carbohydrate surplus to the body's needs will make you store fat? Insulin's role is to facilitate glucose absorption into cells.

Your body uses carbs for energy first, then fat, that's why
