Fat can make you fat. Carbs can make you fat. An excess of either one can make you fat.
Glycogen storage capacity and de novo lipogenesis during massive carbohydrate overfeeding in man.
If the carbs are all from glucose, it's virtually impossible to gain weight assuming proper insulin sensitivity. Fructose isn't converted to glycogen well by the muscles, so assuming 100g glycogen capacity of the liver, and depleted glycogen in the morning, you can eat over 50 teaspoons of sugar per day without gaining any fat. This also assumes that the muscles store all the glucose from ingested sugar, while the liver stores all the fructose.
I've read that same study. Are you telling me that excess carbohydrates don't make you fat? I bolded the key line of my post that you might have missed.
