No, carbohydrates are for "quick energy", but this does not mean that it contains the most energy. Lipids (fats) will contain the most energy by far, about twice the energy per gram than carbs or proteins. Lipids are used as "stored energy", so it makes sense that the most energy per allowed space should be locked up. However, excessive amounts of consumed energy (through food) will still cause the build-up of fat.
