my goals are to get add some strength to myself but I dont want to bulk. I guess my goals are to gain muscle withing gaining fat (which i cant do so lets say I will err on the side of getting fat and having muscle)

Hi I bike 2hours a day, spend 10 minutes in the gym and do martial arts daily. Right now I am eating 4k calories of 40/40/20 (C/P/F) (maybe more like 50/30/20) and aiming for maintenance. I eat very well and know much of this nutrition stuff discussed here. Is there anything else I should be...
