Nope. Carbohydrates have the formula C6H12O6. They are just sugars and make things like glucose, fructose, starch and things like that.

Proteins contain nitrogen though. Protiens are made up of amino acids, and all amino acids have at least one nitrogen. A few have more.

Polysaccharides are long chains of sugars bonded together. Each sugar has the formula (CH2O)n which looks like a carbon with a water (hence the name "carbo-hydrate.") But polysaccharides have no nitrogen.
