No. Calories are a measure of the energy level in a food (strictly a measure of heat), whereas carbs (short for carbohydrates) are chemicals found in many foods and they all contain carbon and hydrogen and oxygen. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen is similar to that in water which is why the term hydrate is used.

Plants store glucose as the polysaccharide starch. The cereal grains (wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley) as well as tubers such as potatoes are rich in starch.
Starch can be separated into two fractions--amylose and amylopectin. Natural starches are mixtures of amylose (10-20%) and amylopectin (80-90%).
