If you did a lot pf carbs while doing cardio, I would cut back. They raise insulin more than protein or fat, and one of insulin's main jobs is storing glucose as fat.

You can't store glucose as fast. That's like saying your favorite Chevy is a Prius. Insulin does signal taking fatty acids up into the cell membrane, mainly because glucose is necessary for converting fatty acids into triglycerides, but even then, you're no longer storing glucose, you're storing triglycerides - which are a fat, not glucose. Your body usually turns glucose into glycogen for storage, regardless.
Plus, neither of these things can happen overall in a calorie deficit. You can't save money you don't have, and you can't store more fat than you lose when you're in a calorie deficit.
