My GOD I Scarcely know where to begin. First, according to you, you:
1. Need to lose some fat without losing any muscle
2. Need to eliminate some of my carbs/fats and increase my protein intake
On the other hand you're:
3. Not too worried just yet about losing weight as I am bulking right now
But:
4. Don't want to gain more fat
Because:
5. I gain all my fat in my mid section
6. I'm an ecto with a pretty big gut.
Your solution for this is:
7. Find something convenient to eat that is high in protein and low in fat and carbs and won't bloat me.
8. I like red meat
9. Drink whey shakes
But:
10. Was eating chicken for a while, but I am so tired of it that I get sick of the site of it anymore
11. Buying steak all the time would get too expensive and I would probably get sick of that after awhile.
So your ultimate solution is:
12. Juice some vegies that are high in protein
I’ll try to answer these things in the order that I recapped them:
1. Damn near impossible to do.
2. OK sounds like a plan, not a great one, but a plan.
3. Makes no sense with number one, you’re either cutting or bulking. If you cut you will lose some muscle. If you bulk you will gain some fat.
4. See 3.
5. While your weight may settle in your mid-section, you can’t spot reduce.
6. Sounds like 5-6 small well balanced meals a day w/ 3-4 days of exercise are going to be better for you.
7. You’re sick of some the better things that will do this.
8. See 7.
9. Good start
10. Get creative with your cooking, try an American Heart Association cookbook.
11. Not true, buying filet mignon and delmonicos all the time will break you.
12. That is without a doubt the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. This table will tell you why:

You really need to do some more research, IMHO, the Body for life book or something similar will get you in the right direction.
Best of Luck
