Before talking about my Diet, here some information about me:
I am 29 years old, and just started weight lifting. I am 5’8 (173cm) tall and 141 lb pounds (64kg) heavy.
I have a history of digestion issues including anal thrombosis and anal fissure, which means that i have to consume a lot of fiber to get along without any injuries.
Of course I would like to add as much muscle mass as possible and therefore i need to consume enough animal protein and carbs. What makes me worry about my diet is a thing that i have learned only recently about: phytic acid. It is said that phytic acid will bind many valuable nutrients, basically making them unavailable for the body.
It is mainly found in whole grains and legumes, which i worry about because those make up a big part of my diet (actually they make up 100% of my carb intake).

My problem is not about calories and macros. I want to maintain a healthy rectum while meating my nutritional goals and staying healthy. Can phytic acid prevent me from staying healthy in the sense of taking away valuable minerals?
What type of changes would you suggest?
Keep in mind that it is nearly impossible for me to consume white rice, since this will cause further damage to my rectum. Also I do not see how one can eat so much (sweet)potatoes or rice to fill up your daily caloric requirements (you would have to eat tons of it).
Thanks in advance.
