Excess calories no matter what they originate from will be stored as fat.
Please remember carbs as such are not the enemy:
- They give you energy
- They help burn fat rather than muscle, and
- They provide much needed fibre
To ensure that you are eating the right carbs, please keep to eating wholegrains rather than white foods such as white bread, pasta rice etc...
Also, eating proteins and carbohydrates together will help slow down the release of food so that you feel fuller for longer.
