You need all of the above. In my opinion, carbs are the least necessary of the three. But to answer your question, all three are necessary to successfully bulk.

ive read on this board that oatmeal, whole wheat bread and fibrous veggies are good carbs...

whole wheat bread is too highly processed - full of sugar. i don't recommend it at all unless it's special fibre bread.

sweet potatoes and yams are also good choices. i believe there is a good list at the top of the page.

yes just look at the sticky at the top of the page on bulking food ideas!

Pack in protein, carbs and fat at every meal 5-6 X per day and you will grow. If you still won't grow slowly increase your serving sizes of each meal for a week at a time. If no increase in weight in the week further increase your serving sizes. Keep doing this until your notice an increase than keep your food intake there until the increase stops, then increase again.

large amounts of sugar (which is half fructose and half dextrose), fructose and high fructose cornsyrup should be avoided or used in extreme moderation when bulking.
