low carb slow bulk

Hi can you critique my diet I am trying to gain lean muscle..not a majot bulk

Due to issues I avoid most carb type products..I am 5'10 145lbs about 10% bf...My goal one day is like 165lbs 6-8% bf (Not huge but good for my ectomorph boney natural frame...I started at 115lbs)

Here is my current diet...what you think..how would you change?

2 x banana, 40g whey protein, 30ml olive oil shake

1 30g whey protein, 20ml olive oil shake (before bed)

1 can of tuna with 30ml olive oil

1 can of sardines

3 eggs

1 apple

100g oats (not every day)

(Occasionaly like meat and rice and vege etc..not often)

lots of water, some tea/coffee sometimes

Multi vitamins....

I know its not a lot of calories maybe 2300-3000 depending on days..I drink some extra shakes workout days.....but my protein and fat is already high if I had 200-300g more carb then I would have loads of calories...thats why the overall calorie content is lower than a normal bulk if taking in 300 odd crbs per day Id be 3000-4000kcal per day

IS too much olive oil bad?

IS there not enough carbs to gain muscle?

Too much reliance on whey protein?

etc...
