Fat is higher in energy, that's all. You can compare different foods with different dollar bills. To get $100 in tens (=carbs), you need ten of them. But to get $100 in twenties(fat) you only need five. This is one reason why it's usually easier to control your weight on a low-fat diet, you eat reasonably sized portions w/o getting too many calories. On a fat-rich diet, in order to control your weight each serving gets really really small.
