You can eat anything if it fits within your Macros. It's a total myth that you have to exclude certain foods when dieting. I choose to eat more protein and fat, so I do limit my carbs. But on occasion I will up my carbs by 100 grams (white rice) in a day and decrease my fat intake but still intake the same caloric amount for the day. I am then accomplishing the same goal and same amount of "weight loss" on the day I eat a lot of rice.
I'm a big believer in carb cycling (1-2 higher carbs/lower fat days per week). Limiting yourself to very little carbs for a long periods of time can lead to metabolic damage which can take a while to reverse. And definitely is hard for someone who loves to lift heavy weights like myself. Carbs are needed for strength and muscle fullness.
